Artsy Banksy Latest

The artwork shows a 
female gymnast balancing on a pile of rubble 
on the side of a building damaged by Russian strikes
The graffiti artist posted three images  
the piece Friday on social media, 
with a simple caption reading "Borodyanka, Ukraine," 
using an alternative spelling for the town's name

Speculation had been mounting that 
Banksy was in the war-torn country after a series of murals
appeared in Borodianka,  located about 35 miles northwest of the capital, Kyiv
The town came back into Ukrainian control on April 1
returning residents found their houses ransacked and shops pillaged with windows broken and contents stolen
The letter "V" a symbol used by Russia's Eastern Military district in concert with the letter "Z" an emblem for Moscow's so-called "special military operation" was found painted on buildings, vehicles and checkpoints

Who's Banksy? Clues about the mysterious artist! 
Slippery, provocative, mysterious   Banksy, the British artist 
whose identity is still unknown, 
is considered one of the main contemporary street art icons
His art, many times satirical, 
address universal issues such as politics, 
culture or ethics
In the center of Los Angeles, an "unauthorized" Banksy’s exhibition, 
dedicated to the enigmatic artist, 
lets visitors dive into the controversial artistic universe 
of the most influential creator of present time

Tom Cunningham November 13, 2022 at 9:36 AM He's an amazing artist Anaya, his work turns up in the most unlikely places, they think he's from the city of Bristol, about an hour away from where I live. What a great thing to do, taking his art to a war torn country. Hope your weekend is going well. Tom I Am Anaya November 13, 2022 at 5:15 PM I knew you heard of him, a Brit eh! Tom you have a nice week!
