Banksy Safari in London , by The Italian One on Aug 13, 2024 10:33:42 GMT 1, Not joking anymore with me as he told me that he blocked me. Iโm a sensitive guy and yes, Iโm wasting my energy when it becomes obsession, and when itโs not me that argued or said this and that, but another guy. I am honest thatโs all :-) Good advise Loui and I thank you again. I realise you have a sensitive soul Lroy and you shouldnโt be worried about it but be proud of it ๐๐ what's next? a dinner out ?

Glad I was able to in the end last night. Such a shame. It doesn't work now. Now forever to be known as the leaping rhino of Charlton. RMS will just move the skip over into position, will still work, just not as well as the car heaving under the weight with the cone horn

Sorry mate LOL no need for unjustified sentences. I think your intention was just to offend me, In that case please go on and block me.
BTW please note there is big difference in buying art and selling a piece after years for buying a new piece and buy editions and sell it next days.

Banksy Safari in London , by Lroy on Aug 13, 2024 11:37:57 GMT 1, The location is impressive. There must be 24h security at London Zoo, and it was well predicted to be the final location. I wonder if he got permission!? The stencil itself is a bit underwhelming. A rehashed concept, and not his best composition. Gorilla looks a bit thin, etc. Overall itโs an impressive stunt though! As I said earlier .. the cat was terrible too ..

Anyway apologies to the forum .. Iโm not too well ( thanks Loui ) at the moment.. Those who know, know

Banksy Safari in London , by zoomrider on Aug 13, 2024 11:48:24 GMT 1, I think we should also appreciate the additional challenges of spray paint on a shutter surface. It has to be much harder to achieve desired result vs a flat wall and wonโt help give the detail/crisp lines weโre perhaps being too critical of.
I like it and Iโm sure it looks a lot better in person! You can see better detail when zooming in like below:

Banksy Safari in London , by met on Aug 13, 2024 11:48:48 GMT 1, Zoo piece confirmed on Insta
In Memoriam, Kumbuka.
One can imagine London Zoo having mixed feelings about this piece.
Perhaps both thrilled and embarrassed by it. The theme certainly shines an awkward light on the institution, regardless of its animal-conservation and educational programmes.
Does anyone know whether the painting is currently visible โ or did the metal shutters go up when the zoo opened this morning?
__________
Seems a very fitting conclusion to Banksy's London Safari.
An artwork that offers a fuller narrative, helping to bring all the other street pieces together.
Like a film or other story told in reverse chronology. It ends at the beginning.

Alsoโฆin my opinion the face and eyes of the gorilla are prettier vibrant, seem to describe well the emotions of that gorilla.

Banksy Safari in London , by PC Baby on Aug 13, 2024 12:04:31 GMT 1, Well I think it's a great Banksy piece - especially referencing his own past works, but instead of sweeping it under the carpet, he highlights the issue that arises from places such as zoos, circuses, safari parks and such like. I just wish more emphasis would be given to animal conservation rather than places where they are caged in and being gawped at.
There are a few dedicated animal sactuaries/conservancies in Kenya and Zimbabwe, for instance, where local farmers now tend to displaced and endangered species - but their habitat is being eroded daily by the ever-increasing expansion of urban sprawls and unprecedented droughts! We should really focus on doing so much more and also be instrumental in helping create additional safe spaces for those wounded and fleeing from raging wildfires!
As always, Banksy is at the forefront when it comes to standing up for the helpless and less fortunate. By his act of creating artworks in public spaces, he is able to achieve instant worldwide news coverage, thereby reiterating issues such as the plight of the animals, who after all cannot speak for themselves, but need mankind's help more than ever. ๐

Fair play Banksy back to doing what he does best, getting people talking and mixing up some fun images with some more serious messaging.

On the one hand they've just gained a Banksy that'll help attract visitors, and on the other hand it's a bit like if Nike were showing off their new Banksy painting of kids escaping a factory.

I have to say that I am a bit curious to see what the zoo will do about the last one!
Thanks Mr B !
