- Banksy has confirmed that he is behind a new artwork that appeared in north London on Sunday.
The street artist uploaded before and after pictures of the Finsbury Park mural to social media on Monday.
It shows green paint sprayed on a wall behind a cut-back tree to look like foliage, with a stencil of a person holding a sprayer next to it.
Crowds have gathered to see the mural, with one local saying they were "proud" their street had been chosen.

How the fuck does no one ever see Banksy do these artworks
Soon to be RELEASED
how BIBI tried the assassination of OBAMA in Egypt..... Details to come...
because none of them snitch
Because Banksy is a grifter😮
@@SpandaV2 what utter rubbish
Banksy is invisible and roams the streets butt-naked.
It makes me sad somehow that we say that this artwork is beautiful but we do not recognise broken nature. I think that its wonderful but so tragic, I feel deep profound sadnes when I look at it.
What does the phrase broken nature mean?
it seems to me the people there have not seen leaves on trees for a very long long time. it must be such a barren concrete landscape.
Sad things can be beautiful in their own way

It’s Faux intellectual claptrap.
@@GuacamoleyNacho The season of budding is only just beginning. It may be late a bit this year. But if you go to some parks the Cherry blossom is in full colour.
I’ve actually been planting sages and mints around London for years, pineapple sage, blackcurrant mint, Japanese peppermint , strawberry mint, Corsican mint.. so many.
Sometimes spray a bee near it. Do it for the bees, not for the art props… but if we are giving Banksy some for this I figure i deserve a mention.

😂😂😂
Amazing how this person is able to create this artwork, without anyone noticing. Awesome.
I hope his identity remains a mystery for years or even decades to come!!!!
yes, because knowing he's a college educated white man will not be as exciting
@@MsSarcasticity not as exciting as knowing he actually is a college drop out black woman?😀
@@pauljansen1137 Popularity would DEFINITELY drop off if it got out that Banksy was a Black woman. I think you just proved my point further, guy.
@@MsSarcasticity Nah....I don't think I did, girl.....your point makes no sense to me since I really don't care what skin color, gender or education Banksy actually has....the fact that we still don't know the person behind the artist excites me...nothing else....

A pollarded tree isn't a dead tree
Leave the stump in the middle of the field alone
They look sxxte though.
@@user-qf7ud5de9h… what..?
You do realise that the tree will have leaves on it… it’s quite literally the very end of the winter right now…
The irony is the place will be sprayed up by other graffa’s including the tree and I bet within 5 years that tree is gone.
Bravo.
@@creativeamerican8811 so you don't like graffiti?
When the tree will be leafy they will cut it to see Banksy art work…
Yet a Greenwich chip shop is not allowed a small union flag that is painted on its wall , shame
The chip shop owner's shop is in a conservation area near a world heritage site. He needed permission to have the mural and didn't seek permission from Greenwich Council. Plus the mural is considered an advertisement which he needed permission for. Banksy's latest work is in Islington and clearly they feel differently there about paintings on walls. It would be interesting to see if any and what laws Banksy's artwork has infringed.
@@beewa8840
😂 He’s committed criminal damage you pleb
@beewa8840 the union flag probably existed before the conservation area, yet somehow a bloke throwing green paint over someone else's property is deemed ok?, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, no one else would be given the privilege of graffiting a property up , get it covered up fast ,and it will be
@@keefsmiff Are you suggesting the chip shop owner's mural was painted before the area became a conservation area? I thought the mural was a recent development?
@beewa8840 no ,now you are being silly
Banksy is a great artist and a visionary. He bettered that dull, ugly wall and showcased the tree nicely. Love him and his work.
Unless people want their property painting he is no better than a vandal. But when the Mayor appriciates the vandalisim of a delapidated derelict wall then others may respect and not consider it vandalism.
@@MikeGreenwood51 What is a vandal? Someone who disturbs your inner sanctuary that the world is nice and neat without their mark on it.
A lot of people asking how he never gets caught... These do not take long especially one like this. He will have used a pressure sprayer to squirt green all over the side of the building (1 min) Then lay a black stencil for the person, spray that then remove the stencil and fill inside it with green quickly not bothering to not go on the black because he then lays the stencil for black again and sprays that to tidy it up (2 mins) I'd be surprised if he got caught spending probably less than 5 mins at the side of some flats early hours in the morning. If you like Banksy I'd suggest subscribing to his yt Banksy film he shows bits of the process on his vids, they don't take long depending on detail but they're effective and the guy is a hero
You could do the same.
But would you do the same?
Go be your own hero.

Banksy, if you're reading this, did you know you've been parodied by My Little Pony twice?
Once in MLP Equestria Girls and once in MLP Tell Your Tale.
And we have people who thinks a person throwing paint on the floor and scribbling it with their body and calls it art.
That's art too.
Art isn't what you see as "pleasing", it's what the creator of the drawing was thinking while doing it.
I mean if it were a blank space of nothingness and it was sold for millions I would get mad. But I like this creativity
This is really wonderful. I haven’t quite seen a Banksy painting like this one before. Not one at least that requires specific angle viewing and inclusions of three dimensions. Pretty damn cool.
Its kinda meh. Threw green paint at a wall and stenciled a painter. Meh
@@junioradult6219true, anyone can do something similar. But understand what he stands for then the art have a meaning.
Agree I bet there is a lot more to it in person than what they can show in this short clip. Its not just green paint and a girl, its multidimensional.
There's a lot of talk on visibility here, i actually think it's glow in the dark paint he used; how could he get away with that you ask? Leave the paint in canisters for a while until it loses its luminousity, spray the dull paint in the dark and wait a day or two for the sun light to reactivate the luminance 😅🫒 it's like a real tree 😋
Should make it difficult to sell and move .. unless they dig up the tree too.
😂 they can move whole buildings if required.
Money can move everything😂
Thank you mr B! Can you do something in Chessington next time pls
I love it, the artwork inspires great hope and a great amount of care, such powerful messaging and imagery, another masterpiece from The Legendary Elusive Artist, I can't stop rewatching this now 😊
😂😂😂 your an accentric who makes up stuff in his head. Pollock proved the art community is bad about that. Remember when he had animals accidently make paintings and watched as tons of art eccentric people made up meanings behind the paintings when there was zero. He called them out on all there BS
There's loads of Graffiti in my nearby town, wicklow council dont care, i was always flattered coz whenever i did a mural, always something clever and funny, it got covered up the next day, flattering
Banksy created another masterpiece 🎨 🌳 ✅
It’s clever art. But honestly, the celebrity hype is a bit silly.
not really..its an enviromental message that has been beaten to death for several decades...
nothing original
It's vandalism NOT art! Whatever happened to the rule of Law? Whether or not people like it, if it did not have permission it's criminal damage.
Absolutely agree.
Green spray paint on a wall. Hardly pure genius.
It's vandalism and graffiti
It’s funny how these things gain traction. If I walked past this and no one told me it was a ‘Banksy’, I’d just assume it was some rather ordinary street ‘art’. It still _is_ some rather ordinary street ‘art’ but because the name ‘Banksy’ has come to mean hordes of people must automatically dig anything he/she does, the very ordinary street ‘art’ is somehow elevated. With Banksy, one gets the feeling folk aren’t necessarily digging his/her work, but digging the fact they dig a famous street artist called ‘Banksy’.
Yes. There's a bit of media hype. And this definitely isn't one of his best works. It might be one of his worst, in fact.
At the same time, the grumbling complaints that people love to make about contemporary artists is quite peculiar. I find that if I don't like something, I just ignore it.
People like your art first. THEN you get famous. Not the other way around.
@@evonne315 That’s just not true. Van Gogh was utterly ignored by everyone, died, got famous and now everybody loves him.
That would of taken hours of time to paint. How could anyone not have seen him painting let alone then all the scaffolding used to paint it.
Banksy is not one single individual. Its a group of 6 people
It has to be at high hours of the night, probably
Interesting new take on his artwork - since his previous street sign one was literally stolen from its post, incorporating the art in the surrounding infrastructure that requires multiple pieces to be in place to 'view' make it impossible to move or steal - and vandalising the green paint would probably just make it look better!
Unless you had a power washer. That would be gone in 5 minutes
Cameras everywhere.....🤷
Nice TOUCH!
this is just food for humanity thank you Banksy
WE HAD A BANKSY HERE IN NOTTINGHAM ON ILKESTON RD, THE GUY WHO OWNED THE BUILDING SOLD THAT PART OF THE WALL & THEN IT WAS GONE. AS A COMMUNITY WE WERE GUTTED.
BUT, I GUESS THE LURE OF A NICE PAY CHEQUE WAS TOO MUCH TO RESIST.
Howcome banksy is allowed to graffiti but i'm not?
Maybe they seek him here and seek him there. But they know where you live.
Bansky is not allowed to graffiti its why Bansky remains anonymous.
Absolutely amazing!!!
You joking yeah?
What does it mean…?
And after you explain apply this… isn’t all that paint a pollutant/contaminant? Won’t more people now spray the place and tree ?
If you think this is good shouldn’t you be thanking gardeners and people that grow food rather than an artist and his art house cronies… that make art.. 😂
I mean, does the UK have street cams !?
Still, disappointed Bansky hasn’t produced any work on the war on Gaza
Have the hostages been returned? Maybe a mural about their lives?
There is a lot of press and international aide for Gaza. Many images already.

This is certainly interesting. A lot to think about.
“Local MP”
My brain: “JEREMY CORBYN!!!!!”
😂😂😂😂.....people are really simple ...sad, what if a local did this
so how long before the building owner or council remove it and then charge people to see it in a art show
And give the proceeds to the town?
If it's not a Banksy piece, people wouldn't stop to take pics, the piece wouldn't be protected but instead buffed, and they would look for the artist to lock him/her up, rip #kingrobbo
Banksy seems to have become more of a celebrity than an artist, unless he has a more secret oeuvre to be revealed.
vandalism is ok as long as I'm mysterious about it?
🎨🖌️ Banksy must have a whole company of artists working with and for him/her/they as it would explain why so many pieces of Banksy artworks are found all over the world. In groups it will be done faster and more efficiently, so it's easier to get the artwork done and hide away without being seen. ..But that's just a theory....😂
Genius!

Seems to me that it is difficult to please anyone nowadays. Kudos Banksy.
Somebody has thrown paint over it and people are saying its vandalism 😂. If i had banksy status id return and throw paint on it myself, let every body call it vandalism, then claim responsibility just to show the hypocrisy of these people.
Bob Marley holding a pressure sprayer can only mean one thing
I really cannot see art. I see paint splashed on a wall. Is that paint environmentally produced?
Agreed. It's a load of rubbish
So if your standard of what's art is whether or not it's environmentally produced, then you are quite misled and completely incapable of commenting about art.
@@shepberryhill4912I heard the environmentalists commenting so I was asking them if the paint was environmentally sound. No, I just think his painting is ugly. My opinion. Give me Monet anyday!
But why is the tree pruned so oddly? Is that bad for the tree? Will it recover? The video is ignoring what the artist was likely trying to draw attention to.
Its called pollarding,happens every year worldwide.
Read up on it👍🏻
@@4tk-uc3rs Thank you! I hadn't heard of that term before. A quick Google search says it's an accepted way of shaping a tree.

funny how its not criminal damage
Its the message and symbolism behind it. Not just egotistical graffiti
He's Jewish.
@@sohilronagh286You’re basing your opinion on the name of the artist. Which is the point of original post.
Because his name is revered as an artist, his illegal art is respected versus if someone else did it, they would be criminalized.
Because it's good art, tagging your name in scribbly letters doesn't count as good art
@@explorer47422 Nonetheless, graffiti is graffiti and painting on someone's property, private or otherwise, without permission should be treated in the same way in the eyes of the law.
Banksy is amazing! That mural is amazing! My personal favorite work of his (that I've seen) is a little girl holding a red heart balloon. So simple yet beautiful. ❤
Nothing amazing about it, they're are way better artist out there that don't even get half the recognition he does
@@Rusty84CV why is it that you think your opinion should be forced on me? Narcissism? Art is subjective and everyone's taste is different. Any true art fan understands that. Go like what you like somewhere else and stop being a troll.
@@Rusty84CV since it's obvious you have zero social skills let's use this as a teaching moment if you will. Had you wanted to be taken seriously and have an actual discussion about art here's what you could have said. Are you ready? Take note ..."I'm actually not a Banksy fan but I do love this artist or that artist and I wish they got the recognition he does" then I would have said something to the effect of "oh really I understand everyone's taste is different but I'd love to check out your favorite artist and see for myself" ...and that's how you have civilized discussions. Get it together and lose the pitiful angst 🤢

@@CyndieAmalathe problem with this piece is not only is it super basic its not thought provoking at all. You would walk past it if you didnt know who made it and maybe glance at it. Modern art is as basic as art can be but it needs to make you feel something inside to be worth a damn. To me this is sorta meh, doesnt make me feel much at all. Ive recently seen street work that not only had more talent in it but it also makes you feel and deepely think about it. Thats all im saying, if its this basic it needs more feeling, like how haring did his murals. Cant be basic, bland and boring at the same time. Another example is jean-michel basquiat, i think he was garbage as far as a talented artist but he made very thought provoking paintings
It Is Incredible! Love his Work, Passion and Messages.💕♥️🇨🇦
Its kinda meh compared to other street work ive seen recently. He threw green paint at a wall and stenciled a painter. Thats it
Please cover it to protect it 🔐
It's just a load of paint on the wall, wouldn't really call it art
Yeah cover it with paint.
The sad thing is that if this wasnt bansky, just some randome street art it would be deemed as vandalism. Also i gotta say, not his best work. Its only my opionion but the making leaves of the tree dropping down doesnt really work if it meant to be a messege of both the environment but also the decaying of the environment.
It looks like the person is spraying for leaf beetles
I believe it has already been vandalised, I am glad I am old and won't be around much longer, this world and it's people are going to hell, the world has gone mad 😮
Looks like someones chucked few cans paint on wall and its dribbled down its shite man just a mess they need to witewash wall wud looj better
Trimming trees so drastically inhibits any birds from nesting there.
Spring is nesting season.
Just looks like a big mess 😂
I like looking at banksys work but it is strange that we don't know who he is he could be anyone like a friend, family member or a co worker who secretly likes to do street art in his spare time i kind of hope he never gets caught whoever he is obvsiouly enjoys doing street art but doesn't want to be arrested or become famous its just something he enjoys doing in his spare time plus its kind of creepy and exciting not knowing who he is

The BBC needs to take note ,as encouraging crime is a crime !Economic Crime (Transparency and Enforcement) Bill ,The Government must give Companies House the powers and resources to carry out comprehensive verification of all the information it receives and holds on companies, amending UK legislation accordingly.The Government must start enforcing its rules and apply sanctions for those that maliciously break the rules - including fines and prison sentences.Companies House should take a proactive approach to tackling moneylaundering and other crimes by analysing the company information it holds,identifying suspicious companies and ensuring they are investigated.Graffiti a Criminal Offence? Yes, graffiti is regarded as criminal damage and a prosecution maybe brought under section 1 of the criminal act 1971. Cost of repair to outside of building £5000 ,The BBC for adding and abetting crime unlimited fine up too and over £5 million
So Banksy had to kill the tree to make art? 😢 I'd rather see its actual leaves than his painting.
No. The tree was pollarded by the council council; it's not dead and will grow fresh shoots in a month or so.
Duh wouldn't we all! that I believe is the main point he was making with this.
More lazy stenciling. His ideas are interesting. This is far from his best. It's more social commentary than actual art. Its great he does not confine himself to gallery's .
This is horrendous it's vandalism and graffiti the person who did this should be prosecuted for graffiti offences
Pretty sure that the meaning is to stop using harmful insecticides.
Banksy is an entity of a contract painting company...
It's a different person every time... Paid by a business... That's why he never gets caught... BIL NSW Australasian outsider superflat artist...
It was done around Paddy's day 💚
Only a matter of time before someone steals the tree
❤
So graffiti art is okay if all you have to do is spray paint through a stencil. Bansky is a joke.
Let us look at real artists
Art isn't really about technical skill though. Technical skill is a part of it, sure, but not the most important one.
🙄
So uplifting. 🤗
But I hope Banksy doesn't listen to that damn fool *expert.* FFS.
The NINJA ARTIST KNOWN AS BANKSKY STRIKES AGAIN!!! THAT SILHOUETTE HAS TO BE THE NINJA ARTIST HIMSELF!!! I SWEAR IT IS!!!
So they need to remove the wall along with the tree to sell this art?😂 😂

When the tree will be leafy they will cut it to see Banksy art work…
Honestly it looks like a paint bomb has gone off but hey Banksy did it.

Banksy: Make Graffiti Respectable Again
Again? Graffiti has never been respectable, and it never will be. Banksy is an outlier.
To whom? You can't please everyone all the time. No matter what someone will not like it and be offended.
