Eight new stencils in Paris confirmed by Banky’s Instagram. 28 June 2018
Banksy’s stay in Paris has been a productive one. On 28 June, Banksy’s Instagram confirmed eight new stencils. The Bataclan Girl, which was stencilled on a fire door to the Bataclan Club, will probably make history.
As reported by Street Art News (www.streetartnews.net), the following two pieces did appear in Paris at the same time and in the same area, but they haven’t been confirmed yet. Judging by style, execution, and political content, they ought to be authentic.
Banksy at the Royal Academy of Arts. 11 June 2018
Banksy made it into the Royal Academy of Arts with a piece on the Brexit referendum. The Royal Academy of Arts (RA) celebrates its 250th anniversary with an extended summer exhibition. In his own words:
“I entered an early version of this into the RA summer exhibition under the pseudonym Bryan S Gaakman – an anagram of ‘banksy anagram’. It was refused. Then a month later I got a mail from the co-ordinator Grayson Perry asking me to submit something so I sent it again. It’s now hanging in gallery 3.”

Brooklyn seal confirmed by Banksy’s Instagram. 21 March 2018.

Banksy continues in NYC with a piece on Trump capitalism. 19 March 2018
Banksy continues his New York session in 2018 with another large mural in Brooklyn on Coney Island Avenue and Avenue I. The piece depicts a typical real estate developer equipped with a hard hat and a graph instead of a whip in his hand. A reference to Mr Trump’s beginnings as heir to the vast real estate empire founded by his father, Fred Trump?

New Rat in New York. 14 March 2018
Banksy is back in New York with his first piece since October 2013. It’s a brilliantly executed rat-in-the-clock, a theme that has been used a few times before, most recently at The Walled Off Hotel. The piece can be found on 6th Ave., a few blocks south of the Empire State Building.
Draw the raised bridge! – New mural in Hull. 26 January 2018
The artwork was discovered on 26 January on the Scott Street Bridge in Hull, a town in eastern England. The stencilled piece depicts a boy raising a makeshift sword with a pencil attached to the tip, carrying a shield, and wearing a cap and a colander on his head.
On his Instagram account, Banksy changes the wording to RAISE THE DRAWBRIDGE. Banksy being for the EU and Hull being the city with the highest Brexit leave is one take on the artwork. It could also refer to the Siege of Hull in 1642, when King Charles I was refused entry to Hull by Sir John Hotham and the Parliament.
