    Banksy: A guide to his 'Great British Spraycation'

    IMAGE SOURCEGETTY IMAGES
    image captionCrowds have been flocking to see the new artwork in Admiralty Road, Great Yarmouth, one of a number to appear in East Anglian coastal towns in recent days

    After a week of speculation, the artist Banksy has finally claimed responsibility for pieces of street art that have appeared on the east coast of England, releasing a video on his Instagram page entitled "A Great British Spraycation". BBC News looks at where the pieces are, what their significance could be and what might happen to them.




    IMAGE SOURCEPA MEDIA

    Where is it? Nicholas Everitt Park, Oulton Broad, Suffolk.


    What does it show? Three children near a boat structure next to the tagline "We're all in the same boat".


    IMAGE SOURCEGETTY IMAGES

    What is happening to it? Oulton Broad Parish Council removed the metal "boat" over flooding fears as it was blocking a drain and rain was forecast. But a spokeswoman promised it would be put back.


    What is an expert's view? Prof Paul Gough, principal and vice chancellor of Arts University Bournemouth, said: "The team will have been scouting possible venues across East Anglian coast for some time: nothing is left to chance with Banksy's public artwork.


    "Unlike your average tag, his stencils are pre-planned, prepared and perfectly positioned.


    "Banksy is also adept at recycling stuff left lying around - a bicycle tyre, a pile of sand - or here at Oulton Broad, a corrugated metal sheet that doubles as a boat to convey a powerful environmental warning, as the children bail out the sinking ship."




    IMAGE SOURCEREUTERS

    Where is it? Katwijk Way, Lowestoft, Suffolk.


    What does it show? A gull on the side of a property appearing to try to eat "chips" - made from pieces of insulation material - from a skip.


    IMAGE SOURCEGETTY IMAGES

    What is happening to it? The artwork is one of three in the town. Before Banksy posted a video on his Instagram page confirming his they were his, East Suffolk Council had said it was awaiting confirmation they were genuine but was considering protecting the pieces.


    What is an expert's view? Prof Gough said that gulls had "made fleeting appearances" in Banksy's previous seaside locations.


    "Here a vast seagull, painted on a gable wall in a more elaborate manner than one often sees in his work, hovers over a skip filled with huge carved chips - a reference to the incorrigible bin-picking tendencies of the ferocious urban gulls that can terrorise our resorts."




    IMAGE SOURCEGETTY IMAGES

    Where is it? London Road North, Lowestoft.


    What does it show? A child with a crowbar next to a sandcastle and a lifted paving slab.


    IMAGE SOURCEGETTY IMAGES

    What is happening to it? This is the second of three pieces in the town. East Suffolk Council has yet to announce what action it might take after it was confirmed they were genuine Banksys.


    What is an expert's view? Prof Gough said that across East Anglia, Banksy had "combined playfulness and light relief with something a little menacing".


    "Particularly here in Lowestoft as a child builds a sandcastle, not with bucket and spade, but with a crowbar," he said.


    He believes the artist is referencing the student uprising in Paris in 1968, which had the slogan "sous les pavés, la plage!", which means "beneath the pavement, the beach", and questions whether the "crowbar is a reference to a world of eviction and squatting".




    IMAGE SOURCEGETTY IMAGES

    Where is it? The bottom of Links Hill, North Beach, Lowestoft.


    What does it show? A rat leaning back in a deckchair drinking a cocktail.


    IMAGE SOURCEGETTY IMAGES

    What is happening to it? As with the other Lowestoft pieces, the council is considering protecting the work.


    What is an expert's view? Prof Gough said rats had been the artist's "rodent of choice for decades: irreverent, playful characters that have popped up during his Covid-inspired period".


    "Here in Lowestoft a rat enjoys a cocktail on the seawall, a few inches below a drain that drips waste water.


    "Banksy and his team will have scouted these locations very carefully, leaving nothing to chance, and always fastidious when selecting a site. It's what makes him and his work so very powerful."




    IMAGE SOURCEGETTY IMAGES

    Where is it? Admiralty Road, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.


    What does it show? Three people on top of a bus shelter: two dancing and another playing an accordion.


    IMAGE SOURCEGETTY IMAGES

    What is happening to it? The piece is one of two accessible to the public in the Great Yarmouth Borough Council area, and the authority said it had inquired as to their authenticity.


    What is an expert's view? "Banksy has taken the roof of a bus shelter as the floor of a dance hall, and painted several very fine figures," said Prof Gough.


    "Working at life-size scale, we are looking at a painter in his prime. Very few street artists can use stencils as expertly as this; and certainly no-one capable of doing so at speed from a very exposed perch."




    IMAGE SOURCEGETTY IMAGES

    Where is it? The seafront at Gorleston, Norfolk.


    What does it show? An arcade-style grabber crane above a bench.




    What is happening to it? As with the Admiralty Road piece, Great Yarmouth Borough Council is viewing it as an artwork and considering ways to protect it. It has yet to comment since Banksy confirmed it was his. On Tuesday it was spotted that six teddy bears had been stencilled beneath it, along with the words "Banksy Collaboration Emo" and the work has since been defaced.


    What is an expert's view? "Banksy has a love-hate relationship with the seaside, especially its amusement arcades," said Prof Gough.


    "What he's done at Gorleston is to use a powerful silhouette at scale to intimidate anyone on the bench, but also to pay homage to one of the most memorial emblems of the arcade."




    IMAGE SOURCEMERRIVALE MODEL VILLAGE

    Where is it? Merrivale Model Village, Great Yarmouth.


    What does it show? Graffiti on a miniature stable, with Banksy's name and a tagline: "Go big or go home". A rat can be seen standing on a cartwheel propped against the wall.




    What is happening to it? The model village said a model it "had never seen before" was sitting amongst its little cottages. The attraction's owner Frank Newsome had been trying to ascertain whether or not it was genuine. He said the model was removed at night and secured off-site.


    It is now being put on show for visitors only between 13:00 and 15:00 BST, and has been placed in a protective box. An email to the BBC to say there was originally a figure next to the building appears to be backed up by Banksy's website, which shows the back of a girl who has dropped a basket of apples.



    image captionThe model has been placed in a protective box
    What is an expert's view? "Banksy has a crew of animators, model-makers and fabricators he can recruit to create the most exquisite miniatures and models," said Prof Gough.


    "The thatched cottage at Merrivale village is a fine example, with an additional outsize signature tag, and a message 'Go big or go home' that plays on the idea of scale and houses - but is also about ambition: Banksy rarely does things by halves."




    IMAGE SOURCELAURENT FORESTIER

    Where is it? On a sea wall in Cromer, Norfolk.


    What does it show? A group of hermit crabs with one in a shell holding a sign stating: "Luxury rentals only." Cromer is famous for its crabs.


    IMAGE SOURCELAURENT FORESTIER

    What is happening to it? Prior to official confirmation being received, a spokesperson for North Norfolk District Council said: "We've noted the arrival of the eye-catching artwork on our seafront at Cromer. We're not yet sure whether this is a confirmed Banksy creation but we're minded to let tourists and local residents visit the site to enjoy it and make their own minds up, until nature takes its course and the sea removes it."


    What is an expert's view? "This is a quite brilliant painting, which combines humour with a very serious message that refers to homelessness, refugees and the rental market," said Prof Gough.


    "It's also a brilliant play on the idea of the hermit, a loner denied access to secure accommodation.


    "Only Banksy could bring these images and messages together. He's certainly bombed the East Anglian coast, a true staycation, or, more exactly, a 'spraycation'."




    IMAGE SOURCEBANKSY.CO.UK

    Where is it? Gorleston model yacht pond


    What does it show? Two children are flung into the air, clinging on to an inflatable dinghy being pumped up by an adult who is distracted by their drink.


    IMAGE SOURCEBANKSY.CO.UK

    What is happening to it? Gorleston Model Boat Club has been contacted for comment.




    IMAGE SOURCEBANKSY.CO.UK

    Where is it? Guanock Place, King's Lynn.


    What does it show? A statue of Frederick Savage, steam engineer and the mayor of King's Lynn between 1889 and 1890, has been standing for more than 100 years.


    In Banksy's video, it shows how the artist added a tongue and what appears to be an ice cream made from part of a cone and some expanding foam filler.


    What is happening to it?The Lynn News reports that the additions were spotted on 4 August, but taken down due to complaints.

    Image caption,Oliver Barker brought down the hammer on the record sale
    A Banksy artwork which shredded itself at a previous auction has sold for a record Ł16m.


    Love is in the Bin was what remained of the artist's live destruction of his piece Girl with Balloon, which sold for Ł1m in 2018.


    It went under the hammer at Sotheby's in London on Thursday, selling for Ł16m - vastly over its Ł4-6m guide price.


    Including a buyer's premium, the purchaser paid Ł18.5m in total.


    The sale, which saw nine bidders battle for around 10 minutes, beats the previous record of Ł16.8m set for Banksy in March.


    After closing bidding. auctioneer Oliver Barker joked he was relieved that the artwork was "still there".


    'A true icon'

    Before opening the bidding, Mr Barker said that the painting became an "unexpected piece of performance art" when it shredded in the same auction room after being sold to a "private European investor" three years ago.


    Opening bids at Ł2.5m, its price tag hit Ł10m within minutes as numerous offers were placed.


    Bidding then gradually climbed to a record Ł15m as the race progressively narrowed down between fewer bidders.


    There were a few tentative moments after bidder Nick Buckley Wood, representing a private investor, waited to see if anyone would outdo his client's Ł16m offer.


    A shake of the head from his rival finally indicated they were out of the running.


    Mr Barker said: "At Ł16m ladies and gentlemen we are selling the Banksy at Sotheby's.


    "You were here for this fantastic moment."


    He then drew laughter from the audience after saying: "I can't tell you how terrified I am to bring down this hammer."


    IMAGE SOURCE,HAYDON PERRIOR
    Image caption,Auctioneer Oliver Barker opens bidding
    In keeping with his irreverent guerrilla style, Love is in the Bin saw Banksy poke fun at the art world.


    Sotheby's contemporary art chairman Alex Branczik said the stunt "did not so much destroy an artwork by shredding it, but instead created one".


    "Today, this piece is considered heir to a venerated legacy of anti-establishment art," he added, labelling it as "the ultimate Banksy artwork and a true icon of recent art history".





    Media caption,The anonymous artist uploaded a video of the destruction onto Instagram but soon deleted the post
    Back in 2018, moments after the hammer fell at the auction, alarms sounded and the canvas dropped through a hidden shredder built into the bottom.


    The unnamed European woman who bought the piece said: "At first I was shocked, but I realised I would end up with my own piece of art history."


    'It is exceptional'

    Former BBC arts editor Will Gompertz wrote at the time that he believed Love is in the Bin would go on to be seen as "one of the most significant artworks of the early 21st Century".


    "It is not a great painting that can be compared to a late Rembrandt, or a sculpture to sit alongside Michelangelo's David, but in terms of conceptual art emanating from [Marcel] Duchamp's Dadaist sensibility, it is exceptional," he added.


    "It was brilliant in both conception and execution."





    "Who decides? Who knows? Duchamp would say it is up to you to decide."


    The piece had been on permanent loan to the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart museum in Germany since March 2019.

    Image caption,Banksy went on to the show's Bristol set to paint his rat

    Banksy painted one of his trademark rats on the set of BBC TV drama The Outlaws - before actor Christopher Walken painted over it as part of the storyline, it has been revealed.


    The show was filmed in the secretive artist's home city, Bristol.


    Banksy agreed to leave his mark on a wall of the set.


    It was then painted over by Walken's character for a scene in the final episode, which was released on BBC iPlayer on Wednesday.


    "We can confirm that the artwork at the end of The Outlaws was an original Banksy, and that Christopher Walken painted over that artwork during the filming of this scene, ultimately destroying it," a spokesperson for the show said.



    Image caption,Christopher Walken (left) with the cast of The Outlaws

    The Outlaws, written and directed by Stephen Merchant, stars Hollywood veteran Walken as one of a group of minor criminals refurbishing a building for their community service.


    The last episode sees his character uncover the Banksy rat and two spray cans behind some wooden boards, and ask his supervisor if he should paint over it.


    The probation officer is looking the other way so doesn't realise it's a Banksy and tells him all graffiti must be painted over, which he does.



    Image caption,The rat was painted over for real

    Banksy works can be worth huge sums, with his infamous shredded Love In The Bin fetching Ł16m at auction last month.


    In September, a work painted on the side of a shop in Lowestoft, Suffolk, added Ł200,000 to the building's asking price, while another piece of his wall art was sold for a "six-figure sum" in February.

    DERIVITIVE DRIVEL

    Both Marchant and Banksy have made millions while life in Barton Hill remains the same, bourgeois graffiti artist a celebrity, whereas local youth who tagged in Clifton by Rowan Tree (the posh upscale part of slave rich Bristol) get criminal records community service ASBOS in a city where Whiteladies Road leads to Blackboys Hiil. Rings from the slaving and press gang era still tourist sights in Queen Square or the Trow/Benbow.

    Not criticizing you Chitty but he really has nothing to say , Piranesi was a better draughtsman 500 years ago, John Hearfield or George Grosz made real political comments a century ago.

    A commodified art market , which is usual a tax dodge , allowing the wealthy to avoid tax meaning the rest pay more or lower service.

    Cleaning, removing such grot will de-commodify it, yet young British Guardian trendies want to appear woke PC as long as they don't actually have to sacrifice their comfort/security and actual change.

    Not once does Wanxy challenge the status quo the regime, royal perverts, banks, oil , money lenders, he's a very rich guy these days so its all a pose. The graffiti taggers here are far braver and face more severe sanctions D44 LM jail etc.

    The Daily Mail or Private Eye have a crack at Mega or the scammers, he's a just an artful poseur, who can afford not to live near the cut or the front line of Montpelier.

    david44 is spot on.

    banksy is a provocateur and con man who hypocritically conspires with the institutions he claims to challenge purely in order to increase his wealth.

    An interesting concord of opinion, thanks

    I do have an in depth knowledge of Bristol and Gorleston's graffiti , having a tool with a powerful spray in those days.
    was cautioned in Bristol during the anti tobacco campaign in a city where tobacco workers WD+HO WILLS and Fry's toothrot chocs had suburbs without a single pub to enforce sobriety.

    In 1950s pre race riots it was a very white conservative backward looking city flattened by fascism, ruined by concrete redevelopment , militant miners and dockers whose leader Bevan was local. Visitng each year until I finally went to do post grad Uni there was like turning the clock back compared to my first Uni Copenhagen and life n "Swinging"London

    Local heroes were enn and Bevan from being my Aunts neighbour he dealt with Molotov as Foreign secretary and liked a cocktail or 3. Local Police turned Dominican friend away saying go "home you black bastrad" there was an effective apartheid until 1959.
    However Bristol West in the day was home to Sir Waldegrave of the German aristocrats of Moggys ilk in the sunny Mendip Inn zone.

    The irony the fine buildings of Clifton and the Merchant Venturers were built on the wealth of slavery, a fact unspoken until recently.
    Bristol's Black History | Bristol Museums
    I did my postgrad studies partly in the ivory Tower that is the Will's building and rented lodgings form one of the famlly who had no objection to smokersMy Totor on Czech societ was called Will and an excellent academic and later friend.

    Part of of an anti cancer FOREST campaign we defaced hundreds of Marlboro posters , at that era they portrayed the poor

    "Marlboro Man" who died of cancer like both my parents and so many others hooked by tobacco

    The famous Horse pose we stenciled or sprayed '

    'Horses have more sense'

    , no damage was done to any public property. We were lucky strikes in the sense I guess that the firm could have bankrupted us but class action was not common in UK 1970-8os

    A sister in the force got us in touch with top solicitor Mike Mansfield and we were all released without charges, however a caution was a criminal record some lost my jobs, careers in nursing teaching hospice, so fuck Marlboro, Big lying tobacco and oh Banksy .

    The group was very very strong one s leading city councillor today and others now lead community organisations, The Bristol Pound, Cycle network and a whole gamut of non profit socially responsible environmental green and ethical causes from FOE, SOFA, CLIC, St Peter's Hospice t, my best man and pre Covid regular visitor has helped make it one of the "Greenest cities " in U and knows Banksy well.

    I'd sooner cross the street to piss on unconvicted Randy Andy on fore than proven spiv poseur and piss poor caricaturist Banksy.

    If you enjoy biting stle Gerlad Scarfe or Steve Bell in UK of Canard Enchaine and Charlie Hebdo have more to say on one day than Wanxy's entre ouevre

    Big on finance now is Brissle. I quite like it but its lost some of the feel it had in the 70s to mid 90s - where there were distinct villages. The property boom did for that and the same goes for Bath.

    for those uninterested in Bristol the linky is all you need

    If you wonder why there were tensions

    Relations between police and the local community remained tense and reached a low point in 1986 when 600 police raided the Black and White Café again in an action named Operation Delivery"



    I described our "band's Metropolis" adventures at the notorious Inkerman in another thread. Suffice to say the music worse than my arthritic typos. I recall when during the operation

    Interestingly Deer Hunter fave Christopher Walken's experience of Russian Roulette made him a "natch" for Bristle comedy the Outlaws a 6 part comedy drama written by Steve Marchant off the BBC Office , the original not teh US pastiche pap.

    All on iplayer to stream, I recognize some of the dodgy estates , so funny to see Walken on a Southmead Bus passing the lush estate , the real chavs have sofas on the lawn and bricked up car at Withywood, Knowle West , Lawrence Weston and of course romantic deer park HartcLiffe from which my gf Jile Burchill and Rowling all made teh gert escape.

    Todays Bristol as you note is a yuppy paradise with the remanats of working classes zoned into grim hard to heat highrises of teh inner slums Brislington, St Anne's Henbury Lawrence Hill and Knowle west, heavy drink drug abuse knife crime, not quite Baltimore but heading that way.

    Middle classes moving rural and selling to London overspill as homes are much cheaper than London still, plenty of 3 bedroom detached place sunder a million bar Westbury and Clifton

    If I had to live in a UK city I prefer like my Brother Ediinburgh or Canterbury but for a midsize city it has many attractions esp for tourism, culture or study.

    Not sure if there is a tv thread I kow there is for films and cos anyway heres a linky

    OF COURSE PEOPLE OF REFINEMENT A TASTE FOR CRACKING CHEESE CIDER AND CRICKET MENDIP IS THE WAY TO GO

    Christopher Walken paints over original Banksy artwork

    CHRISTOPHER WALKEN PAINTS OVER ORIGINAL BANKSY ARTWORK

    By MARTIN BOOTH, Wednesday Nov 10, 2021
    Banksy visited the set of The Outlaws in Bristol in order for Christopher Walken to paint over one of his signature rat stencils.



    In the last few minutes of the final episode of series one, Walken’s character Frank takes away a wooden panel propped up against a wall of Sea Mills Community Centre, revealing a work by Banksy of a rat standing on top of one spray can and pressing the nozzle of another.
    After informing his oblivious supervisor, Diana, Walken then paints over the artwork with a roller – thereby destroying a piece of art likely to have reached a six-figure sum if sold at auction.
