Animal art in London - Catherine - 08-11-2024
The famous and secretive artist, Banksy, has been painting animal images all over London.
The first was a goat. There have been monkeys and elephants. Sadly the image of a lone wolf on a satellite dish has been stolen.
The purpose of the are is to cheer people up.

I don't know if the art has made people happier. but it has definitely got them interested. I love the simplicity of the images.
There is a lot left to the imagination and that is a good thing.
I wish he would visit Toronto and do some paintings. We have a lot of good street art. His works would fit in and I thing they would be respected.

There is still more art to come.

I love his random animal art. It makes life more interesting.
