On Thursday, Banksy confirmed that the artwork was, in fact, created by him.
According to the BBC, a local resident named Dale Comley saw a “bulky guy in a high-vis jacket” early on Thursday morning who he thinks was Banksy. “I saw a man in a high-vis jacket leaning against the railings opposite—he was looking at the wall the whole time. Then about an hour later, I looked out and saw loads of people in the street,” the man shared with the BBC.
The mural features a senior lady holding a handkerchief and sneezing out her dentures.
In case you didn’t know, Banksy is an anonymous street artist, political activist, and film director from Britain that began his artistic journey in the 1990s. The artist is most known for his spray-painted murals that are often satirical, thought-provoking and featuring political messages. To this day, Banksy’s identity and name remain unconfirmed.
Earlier this year, Banksy spray-painted the London underground with COVID-themed rats.
The artist has also painted this little girl hula-hooping with a bicycle tire in Nottingham.
