In a report by The Guardian, Banksy has confirmed that a new mural featuring a goat perched on a precarious ledge is his latest work. The piece, located on a wall near Kew Bridge in Richmond, south-west London, shows the goat balancing on a thin wall with rocks falling beneath it and a CCTV camera pointed at it, all executed in Banksy’s signature stencil style. It’s unclear what the message behind the work is as the artist has left the image on his Instagram account without a caption.
The street artist revealed the mural through a post on his Instagram account earlier this Monday. This is Banksy’s first public work since his controversial stunt at Glastonbury in June, where a migrant boat sculpture was crowd-surfed during performances by Idles and Little Simz.
Earlier in March, Banksy created a mural in Finsbury Park, north London, depicting a tree with green paint and a stencil of a person with a pressure hose. Banksy’s work is renowned internationally, with previous pieces found in London, Brighton, Bristol, and the West Bank barrier.
