A new Banksy mural in London has drawn crowds before the artist even confirmed it as his work. The mural, located in the Finsbury Park neighborhood, features a small figure holding a pressure hose beside a large cherry tree. The vibrant green artwork, which appeared on St. Patrick’s Day, has sparked discussions about the environment.
Former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn praised the mural for prompting people to think about environmental issues. Banksy, known for his satirical images, has never confirmed his full identity. His work has sold for millions at auction, though past murals have often been stolen or removed.
The latest mural may be more challenging to take down due to its reliance on the tree for impact. Building owner Alex Georgiou plans to keep the artwork on the building for people to enjoy. As the mysterious artist continues to captivate audiences with his thought-provoking pieces, the new mural in London is sure to spark even more interest and speculation.
