Will go and have a nose tomorrow

Provided it's still there tomorrow, I'd be most grateful if you could check for me the brand/manufacturer of the freezer.

Knowing the area, that will be for sale in high street by now. You may be lucky with the chair though. I will keep you posted.

So your take on this is 
"Before your partner  kills you, you should kill him instead of getting help "?
or is it a "When your partner beats you, you're allowed to kill them "? 

Not really the right message, not really anti violence, is it ? 


 

Yes... absolutely. That is exactly what Banksy is saying. She told me herself. She has a guy shoved in a freezer. 

I worded my comment a bit wrong , sorry. 


I just think it's not necessarily the right thought behind the piece.
It's the same self justice team Banksy displayed with the "Guess" thing.

Shame it's such a terrible photo.

The angle makes a complete mess of the trompe-l'œil and almost completely misses the (seemingly) blood-spattered frying pan.

And if you don't think it's by Banksy you're probably the sort of person who thinks Martin Whatson is a graffiti artist.

Theres no question it is a Banksy. The hands, the feet, the skin colour. 
It's pretty obvious. 

[Gunny]

absolutely a yes from me!

The man appears to be a policeman- I think it is a dig at the recent stories of policemen attacking women. 

Its possible I guess. I still struggle to see a positive message. 

Just curious, how do you see a policeman there ? The only thing I see are black shoes and legs 😅

It will be a shame when the freezer is taken/stolen, the piece won't make much sense at all with just the feet hanging in mid air...

Who knows what's behind the freezer, could be a whole new narative

haha I cannot stop looking at the blue lines now!! Banksy would have got them correct surely? Everything else looks like him.

Reminds me of this video that was making the rounds recently.



"Everything in its place".

It's a yes for me.

Interestingly, on the: isleofthanetnews.com website, it shows two different photographs of this piece by different people, in one we have the frying pan and two bottles to the left of our abused lady, in the other, they are not present, Watson, the game is a foot, or possibly two feet, with black socks and shoes on

I thought it had something to do with energy prices. She looks like she's warming her hands on a freezer?

At first glance I thought it was an afterthought of his to add the blue checking, but it's clear that they were actually very cleverly painted before the stencil work was done.

It would have been amusing if there was a finished stencil of Dominic Raab hiding behind the fridge.

(…anyway, who is the shifty looking beady dude on the left?)

Fucking street art creep merchants. Ruined it for everyone again.

If I lived in the area I'd buy a cheap knackered freezer and have it delivered to the spot.
