In the bustling city of London, there has been quite a stir over a potential new mural by the infamous street artist, Banksy. It was spotted on a disused billboard on Edgware Road in Cricklewood, causing quite a commotion among Londoners.
This is not the first time Banksy has made his mark in the city, but it is the sixth new mural that has appeared recently. It seems that the elusive artist may have struck again, this time in the northwest corner of London. The mural depicts a big cat stretching on the dilapidated billboard, capturing the attention of anyone who passes by.
One lucky individual who was fortunate enough to lay eyes on the painting was Simon Stephenson, a long-time Banksy collector. Simon was on his way to Lidl when he spotted the big cat and immediately recognized it as a Banksy piece. "I've been collecting all his work for the last 20 years, so I knew right away it was him," he exclaimed.
Despite the excitement from Simon and other Londoners who have seen the mural, it seems that not many people have taken notice. Simon believes that the artwork could potentially be priceless, but to others, it may just look like rubbish on the street. Regardless, Simon is impressed with the clever use of the medium and the message behind the piece.
Online sleuths seem to agree with Simon's assessment, with some Reddit users speculating that it could indeed be a new Banksy creation. However, the official Banksy Instagram account, with over 12 million followers, has not yet confirmed the mural's authenticity.
This new potential Banksy piece comes at a time when London is already buzzing with new graffiti believed to be by the artist. Five other murals have popped up across the city, including a mountain goat in Kew, two elephants in Chelsea, three monkeys in Brick Lane, and a wolf in Peckham. Unfortunately, the wolf mural was quickly taken by a group of men with ladders, causing quite a stir.
The latest mural, featuring two pelicans, was discovered in Walthamstow just yesterday, and now the big cat has appeared on Edgware Road. It is unknown exactly when the mural was created, but it is believed to have been done sometime this morning.
The Agency reached out to Banksy's representatives for comment, but they have not yet responded. It is unclear what the message behind the mural is, but it has certainly caught the attention of many.
