Banksy Unveils New Statue In London
A new statue appeared overnight near Piccadilly Circus in London. It is situated near the Crimean War Memorial and an equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington. The location is an area historically associated with patriotic displays. The report noted the presence of English flags being flown in recent months as a message of exclusion against migrants crossing the English Channel. The work is believed to be by the anonymous artist Banksy. The installation was reportedly erected under the cover of darkness. Street artist Banksy has installed a new statue on Waterloo Place in London. The artwork depicts a man in a suit walking off a precipice while blinded by a flag. The piece is thought to symbolize blind patriotism in response to rising nationalism in the UK and globally. Observers speculated that a new work by Banksy surfaced in central London this week.
