  • A young boy chooses a nurse as the superhero he wants to play with over Batman and Spiderman in a new artwork by Banksy that encapsulates the gratitude Britons have felt toward the country’s National Health Service during the coronavirus crisis. The painting by the secretive street artist was unveiled at University Hospital Southampton, in south England, on Wednesday.

    What a great tribute to people who are risking many things to save those in need. The medical staff are the true heroes of our time. Art sometimes does depict the truth, in a tangible and accessible way.

    those people seem to be missing the point. yeah your hospital was given the piece, but it's not specifically an honoring to that specific hospital. Banksy is a world renowned artist, so it would be safe to assume that banksy's work are to be viewed from a global perspective. it's a honoring to healthcare workers worldwide and Banksy choose you to convey the message
