Ooooooooo. This Banksy guy is pretty good, eh?

[Happy Shopper]

Looks good.... what is it?

It was posted about ten minutes ago on the banksy.co.uk instagram feed so guess its the real deal....

Something snowy and cold looking...

[Happy Shopper]

Looks like it's on a very well locked and bolted door... somewhere!

Another war theme? Reminds me of the 'Crazy Horses' NY piece.

Dare i be the first one to say it...but it looks a bit s**t.
Unless it's of a bigger context and that pic is just a teaser i don't get it all..
I think we need to know where that wall is.

[Dr Plip]

Perhaps it's referencing the current crisis in Greece? Niobe?*

*literally no idea

[atom]

Why is his bellend hanging out ?

Tbh my first thought was just the opposite. That it looks really good. A continued move towards a stencil version of fine art, and away from the early basic stencils (if you know what I mean).
I'm also interested in seeing the whole piece in context.
I'm wondering about where it's placed.
And I think plip may be right about the Greece connection. Austerity here has been nothing compared to there. But like plip I'm just guessing.

That or a Ukraine thing.

Greece makes sense. Looks like a protestor, in a classical statue style pose.

If it's got a bellend, then it's not Niobe

But then again, anything's possible in ancient Greece. People used to do allsorts. My favourite was the lady that turned herself into a bush to get away from a sex pest God.

Anyway, back to the art.

Agree we need to see the bigger picture, this is just a teaser...political piece? Looks like Jesus just woke up with the mother Of all hangovers after an all nighter on cheap wine

Someones bound to paint a yellow smiley face on it, it needs cheering up.

[Jeezuz Jones Snr]

Is that an ohm tattoo on his shoulder or a crab?

Dresden 1945

Looks promising, interested in seeing the context

Good spot... and a quick google search reveals another image, probably used for the stencil! haha

[Deleted]

is it in Greece? Did Banksy have a cheap Holiday in Greece?

I agree about the Greek tragedy that and Europe being fucked up by the politicians who pay no tax as in overpaid parasitic EU beaurocrats and Lagarde pay 0 tax.

Then they mug people with some money in the banks and accuse others who are poor and deal in cash as to blame.

more oozo

Could it be that it is part of something bigger?...

maybe he just went to a Greek diner in NYC and was inspired by the decor?
