New animal-themed artworks by Banksy appear in London

This piece is the latest Banksy artwork to be revealed

Two new animal-themed artworks by the famous graffiti artist Banksy have appeared in London.

They feature a goat and two elephants painted in his classic stencilled-graffiti style on buildings in Richmond and Chelsea.

The artist shared a picture of the artworks on his social media account - which is how he usually announces that a piece was made by him.

Despite being one of the most recognisable British artists, Banksy keeps his identity top secret, with only a handful of people knowing his real identity.

What is his new art like?

What do you think this painting means?

The first piece was discovered on Monday, and showed a goat, perched on a ledge, with rocks falling, on the side of a building in Kew Green, Richmond.

The piece also featured a real life CCTV camera, which was pointed at the goat, but has now been returned to its original position.

The second piece, which was found on Tuesday, features two elephants facing each other and poking their heads out of blocked out windows in Edith Terrace in Chelsea.

Banksy did not write a description for either of the social media posts he made sharing his work, meaning fans have been coming up with their own ideas of what they represent.

This piece called Game Changer by Banksy was sold at auction and raised more than £16 million for the NHS during the coronavirus pandemic in 2021

Banksy has been spraying his art onto buildings all around the world since the early 1990s.

His artwork can be rebellious and is known for delivering political messages about things like war, climate change and poverty.

There are lots of people who love what he does, paying thousands, sometimes millions of pounds for it and considering it to be incredible art.

But, there are others who don't support what he does and consider it to be vandalism.
