Banksy confirms new West London artwork as his - as fans rush to site
A new Banksy has appeared in west London — showing a goat balancing precariously on a tall, thin wall.
The animal appears to be moments from falling — with rocks and rubble tumbling down from the height. Banksy has confirmed that he is behind a new grafitti painting of a goat on the side of a building in west London.Art teacher, Amber Doffman, 26, spotted the iconic street artist’s Instagram post of his new work.She said: “I saw his post on Instagram 40 seconds after it went up and I immediately recognized where the art was.
“So I got in my car and raced there. I was there 15 minutes after he posted on Instagram — and the paint was still wet.”Amber, who lives in Acton, said she has been writing to Banksy for years — and just a few months ago emailed him asking him to come to west London.“I’ll tell myself I made this happen. I mean, probably not — but it is a huge coincidence.Amber added that she believes the artwork is a commentary on the environment.
She said: “I think it’s to do with the environment — and how we’ve ruined it to the point that animals don’t know where to go anymore. “It’s also worth noting that that security camera wasn’t facing that way before. Banksy has turned it towards the goat.Amber said the occasion was particularly special for her — because he is the reason she took up the career she did.“I hope they cover it with Perspex immediately before someone ruins it — I’m so scared it will get vandalized.
