As a seasoned gamer and street art enthusiast who’s been around the block a few times, I can’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia when it comes to Banksy’s latest London zoo series. The elusive artist has always had an uncanny ability to capture the zeitgeist in his work, and this time is no exception.
As a gamer, I can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment when I heard that Banksy’s latest masterpiece, a howling wolf stenciled on a satellite dish in Peckham, was swiped mere hours after its unveiling in London, according to The Guardian. This artwork is one of the latest additions to his animal-themed series that has been popping up throughout the city this week, sparking curiosity and conjecture among us art enthusiasts.
The mysterious artist from Bristol, residing in our city, unveiled this collection on Instagram. Swiftly, enthusiasts discovered the fresh creations. In the vicinity of Kew Bridge, the initial artwork showcases a goat teetering on a narrow ledge, with rocks precariously falling beneath, under the watchful eye of a nearby security camera. Another masterpiece by Banksy in Chelsea displays two elephants silhouetted, their trunks entwined, on the barricaded windows of a residence. Lastly, near Brick Lane, there’s a depiction of three monkeys swinging across a bridge.
The “London Zoo” series, as it’s been nicknamed by fans, has stirred up conversations about its intended message. Some viewers see it as a critique of recent far-right riots, suggesting that the rioters are like caged animals in a zoo. The lack of captions accompanying Banksy’s images has further stoked the curiosity and speculation.
