But this just wouldnt look at good stuck in moorgate somewhere on a back alley. Looks so good with a wide angle with the water and the bridge.

Brings to question the general question in regards to an artwork. Can a piece be good or powerful if the meaning canโt be deciphered?

Not saying it has to be taken literally. Do they want there work to not be taken at all? I donโt think so.

This really adds to the irony of humanity. Uprooting a plant and burning it for our own salvation while continuing to destroy our planet for our own self interest/benefit.

I see this. Its meaning will become crystal clear in a couple of years' time when the kid is waist-deep in water.

LOLZ

Victoria B is Banksy. Most of the cities where the Spice Girls ever had a gig also have some Banksy works. Clearer proof than that...

Looks like another generic non white child used in Banksy images to promote his left wing propaganda virtue signalling. Banksy brand advertising via his PR team which gets the art and some blurb into newspaper articles.

But seriously, the use of kids everywhere adds a cloying sentimentality to the output .good marketing I suppose but a world away from the cynical cod situationist jibes of the early 2000s

You could have just said "Looks like another Banksy piece I don't like and disagree with" and come across looking a little less like a tool.
