London: Banksy's Artwork Covered in Plastic After Suspected Vandalism | Subscribe to Firstpost An artwork of the pseudonymous England-based street artist Banksy in London has been encased in plastic and surrounded by fencing after an apparent act of vandalism. Banksy's tree mural, resembling a real tree with green paint, debuted on March 18. As per reports, two days later, it was splashed with white paint. The artwork is on a four-story wall near a public housing project. Beside a real and severely pruned cherry tree, the artist stencilled a small figure holding a pressure hose. Swathes of green paint across the wall stand in for the tree’s absent leaves. The mural was then covered in transparent plastic by the building’s owner, and a sign appeared saying the area was under video surveillance. Banksy's previous work, featuring drones and a “STOP“ sign, was abruptly removed in December. --- UK | London | Banksy | Artwork | Tree Mural | Vandalism | Firstpost | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | Trending News #london #bansky #artwork #vandalism #firstpost #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
