New Banksy in London , by robo on Oct 10, 2023 15:43:50 GMT 1, Banksy frequently plays with different ways for entities in the artwork to have created the graffiti element of the work, so this does read as familiar at first glance. But to me this work lacks the wit, conciseness or meaning of a good Banksy. Itโs also overworked - the image is funnier and cleverer without the struggling humans and the severed power cable. ( I could see a series of simpler robot arm-only works appearing around town as Banksyโs new monkey or rat motif.) So Iโm hoping this is an impersonator not the man himself. My suspension of disbelief is about to burst...
So, Robo, you have been a member on UAA since 2006 and are unable to identify this as having been done by Banksy? You see no wit nor meaning in it? The humans trying to stop the AI machine (the irony) that they created as it "speaks the truth," it is all totally lost on you after following Banksy pretty much as long as anyone on this forum?
I guess we can all hope that James Straffon takes credit for it.
I do envy your certainty.
But not your social skills.

New Banksy in London , by Street Arted 2020 on Oct 10, 2023 15:51:18 GMT 1, God reaching from heaven to earth and giving Adam life. Yes, I (mostly) agree with you on God, but when you consider Adam: he has just been created, is casually lying on the ground. His hand is pointing towards God, but - in contrast to God - his hand is not outstretched. If he wanted to, he could reach God .. but does he even want to? And this combined with his body posture: he is leaning in the other direction, away from God. So does it symbolise the close bond between God and his creation or humanity moving away from him/them?

In 1990, Frank Lynn Meshberger, M.D proposed that the painting may be hiding an anatomical depiction of the human brain and that the depicted God is superimposed on the emotional side of the brain, the limbic system. |

New Banksy in London , by Minecrafter on Oct 10, 2023 16:21:34 GMT 1, Banksy has had zero media coverage on the new street piece that was unveiled in the usual manner (streetartnews) and they also received no coverage in the closing of the hotel which would give more attention to palestine .
It's very strange - has the media fallen out with Banksy ?!

It's like they've moved on... OR, have something more important to talk about. Can't think what could be more important, but hey ho, eh?

Seems like the collective won't own up to that piece as they didn't get their usual "is it or isn't it" media circus ๐

All the trashy media that used to hype Banksy are rather reporting about unknown celebrity breakups than about the new Banksy piece.

But it's not great imho.

New Banksy in London , by reg on Oct 13, 2023 13:25:49 GMT 1, If, and it's a massive if, this is Banksy I can only imagine his reluctance to own it is borne from the consequences of what happened in the middle East at the very time he was doing it. Posting some hilariously witty video alongside, right now would rub against his support for Palestine.
Either that or he's ashamed of the quality, which is quite possible given the state of the faces in particular.

New Banksy in London , by drip on Oct 14, 2023 11:04:22 GMT 1, Y'know what - at first glance, and the more I look at it, my gut says it is by Banksy.
Sure, I wouldn't bet my house on it, and sure, up close it might not be as polished as you'd like (but who among us is?), but it just *looks* like something he would do. Maybe with everything else going on in the world, he's happy to let this one go this time?

New Banksy in London , by Boostthegoat on Oct 14, 2023 13:54:29 GMT 1, What if No one ever claims this work. What if itโs actually by Banksy but he never comes forward . Especially after the drama surrounding Valentineโs Day mascara, it feels we now celebrate the artist more than the art. What if by not claiming this piece as a Banksy , it can truly be appreciated for what it is, a street art without the commotion that comes with a Banksy.
