Artwork thought to be by Banksy appears at foot of London skyscraper


Two people lie on the ground looking up at a London skyscraper in the latest artwork thought to be by graffiti artist Banksy.
The work shows a child in a beanie hat and wellingtons lying on the floor next to another person in a bobble hat who points up to the building and sky above.


Banksy, whose real identity has not been revealed, has not claimed responsibility for the artwork.




The painting appeared on an external wall of the Queen’s Building, in the Royal Courts of Justice complex.


The art was interpreted by some as a comment on the arrest of hundreds of people for supporting Palestine Action by holding up placards at protests.
Palestine Action was banned by the Government as a terrorist group in July after activists damaged RAF planes.
The court service confirmed that it was legally obliged to maintain the character of the building because of its listed status.
