After waking up on Sunday to a view of a huge green painting on the side of a block of flats, people in part of the capital are now faced with an act of vandalism targeting the artwork.
A new Banksy mural in north London has been defaced after appearing just days ago. The huge green painting on the side of a block of flats in Hornsey Road, near Finsbury Park, was first spotted on Sunday. A day later, the anonymous artist confirmed that he was behind the project. But photos show that just three days after it first appeared, white paint has been thrown over the mural.
'This is a really powerful piece, which highlights the vital role that trees play in our communities and in tackling the climate emergency. 'Culture is a powerful way to tell meaningful stories, and we very much hope that the piece, which is still fantastic, will now be left alone for people to enjoy.' It's not the first time artwork from Banksy has been defaced, with his 'Spraycation' mural in Suffolk covered in white paint in August 2021.
