Two new Banksy murals have appeared on the walls of the Barbican Centre in London. Both pieces were confirmed on 17 September on Banksy’s Instagram account. The first piece depicts Banksy’s version of Boy and Dog in a Johnnypump by Basquiat. The second motive is possibly comparing the Basquiat exhibition with the London Eye tourist attraction. Jean-Michel Basquiat started his career as a street artist in New York.

Banksy’s announcement reads:

“Major new Basquiat show opens at the Barbican – a place that is normally very keen to clean any graffiti from its walls”

Banksy contributes to Art the Arms Fair. London, 11 September 2017

Banksy’s critique of the military-industrial complex is a child’s drawing where part of the story is told outside the frame. The piece connects two recent Banksy pieces: the stick figure and her/his house from the Bristol street art piece in June 2016 and the three drones above Jesus Christ at the Walled Off Hotel.

Banksy posted the piece on Instagram today with the following announcement:

“My contribution to the Art the Arms Fair exhibition, which opens opposite the world’s biggest arms fair – held this week in London”

Banksy published two new pieces on Instagram today together with the following announcement:

“Opened a gift shop today – situated at the back of the Walled Off Hotel. Not to be confused with the “Banksy shop” next door – which has nothing to do with me at all. Hand painted mini souvenir separation walls now available. http://www.walledoffhotel.com”

The description of the piece to the right goes like this: “Military grade grappling hook and combination spiritual ornament. All proceeds stay in the local community.”
