"The sculpture shows a suited person marching forward off of a plinth, their face smothered by a billowing flag. It sits on Waterloo Place, near statues of Edward VII and Florence Nightingale."
"While the piece is signed by the artist, he doesn't always do so - in fact, none of his murals in London from the past few years were signed."
"A suited person - a politician, let's assume - blinded by a gigantic flag and stepping off a plinth and into danger? Sounds like pretty classic political Banksy messaging to us."
A new statue resembling the style of Banksy has emerged on a plinth in St James, London. The sculpture features a suited figure with their face obscured by a flag, suggesting a political message. While the piece is signed, Banksy has not confirmed its authorship, as he often does through social media. The statue is located on Waterloo Place, near notable landmarks. The imagery of a politician blinded by a flag stepping into danger aligns with Banksy's typical political commentary.
