US EditionTwo identical Banksy murals appear in London
Banksy confirmed one mural in Bayswater while an identical piece appeared near Centre Point in central London, highlighting child homelessness amid 210,000 rough sleepers, nearly half children.
- On Monday , near-identical murals appeared outside the Centre Point tower and on a wall in Queen's Mews, Bayswater, with Banksy posting the Bayswater image to Instagram.
- Given Centre Point's history, the Centre Point tower at 101-103 New Oxford Street has long been a focal point for housing protests and was once left empty, angering campaigners, while artist Daniel Lloyd-Morgan said the location highlights child homelessness often ignored by passers-by.
- Both murals use the monochrome stencilled style associated with Banksy and depict two children in wellington boots, coats and bobble hats, with many photographing the Bayswater mural.
- A September mural at the Royal Courts of Justice was swiftly removed as the court service must preserve the listed building's character, setting a precedent for authorities.
- If confirmed as originals, these pieces would extend the recent series of London pieces throughout the year and some observers say the child resembles Banksy's 2018 Port Talbot piece.
