Not sure if this has been shared yet. A new piece has replaced the leopard (think it was a leopard) by the door at the Walled Off.

It first went up and Banksy decided he didn't like the background so the guys removed it and spent the next 2 hours drilling the wall to pieces. I think it was a good call....

Took me a moment to work that out, but then saw the wall behind, the piece of the wall, and the combined effect of piece and drilled wall behind. Yes it integrates the work well.

The picture there before was the leopard lying with the lamb against a graffited background.



Thanks for sharing that, I was lucky enough to spend a few night in the Presidential Suite and enjoy the company of the staff.

Nice to see a 'behind the scenes'

Thanks to both of you. Quality photos!

[The Italian One]

was staying in the hotel the night it was hanged, thanks for sharing those photos.

Is there any video tour of the hotel?
It must be a so great experience and atmosphere.

Well worth a visit. Apart from the Banksy buzz the country is stunning. The people are so friendly.

Hope to get back in April

[Rouen Cathedral]

Thanks for posting.

Much like the original lamb work. Not so sure about the new piece...

Apparently they’re still not happy and there might be more changes.
I’ve been there the last couple of days and the background lights haven’t been on at all.
Could be more added over the coming days.

[bigtlt]

The Banksy piece was taken down yesterday and the concrete behind it was smoothed/plastered over.

The execution is excellent and the pieces and box are even better again. The depth, texture and the really smooth shading is unreal. Are the box and pieces stencilled or painted? The shapes being religious symbols is class.

[Not 4 The Thril]

The depth and shading he is creating with this piece and the dumpster fire piece are next level.
He's really getting good at making stencils look 3D and real. Love this piece.

If any new artist rooms this year they should add dran to the list

[Rouen Cathedral]

They took it down?

[19818914]

Of course they took it down. They read the forum. Nosnereb ruined it for us.

Yes it is B's hand print.

They were attempting to make a window to outside through the heart piece.  Which was then halted due to structural compromise.  I kinda like the idea of natural light pouring through the heart.
