Banksy Statue in London: Is It Him?!

0:00On April 30th, a mysterious statue showed up in Central London yesterday, showing a suited guy stepping right off the edge of a plinth, his face, covered by a flag he's holding. Folks are calling it a new Banksy piece because of what looks like his signature is crawled at the base. But Banksy usually confirms his work with an Instagram post, and there's nothing there yet. Plus, none of his recent London murals carry a signature like this. People are loving the political vibe, especially since it's near Downing Street. Many see the blindfolded figure as a politician lost in fake patriotism, marching straight toward disaster. Earlier this year, a Reuters report dropped big claims, saying Banksy is really 51-year-old Robin Gunningham from Bristol, who switched to the. Name David Jones to stay low-key. They backed it with photos from his 2022 Ukraine trip, old associate snaps, and a confession note from a 2000 arrest in New York. Banksy clings to that anonymity to create without fame's chains or policy, so whether this statues his or not, the street art world still.
