Banksy reveals second new artwork in 24 hours as rumours swirl elusive artist has been captured on CCTV
BANKSY has revealed a second new artwork in 24 hours depicting two elephants poking their heads out of blocked out windows.
The elusive street artist shared a photo of the wall art on Instagram which features dark elephant silhouettes with their trunks stretched out towards each other in London.
It comes just 24 hours after Banksy revealed an artwork of a goat perched on top of a wall near Kew Bridge in Richmond yesterday.
The black silhouette of the goat appears to be moments away from falling from a height as rubble breaks off below.
A security camera appears to be angled directly at the artwork on a building in London.
The location of his newest work featuring elephants appears to be on Edith Terrace, Chelsea.
Bristol-based Banksy did not write a caption for either Instagram post which has caused fans to theorise what the meaning of the two artworks are.
Some have speculated the new artwork could reference the "elephant in the room".
Yesterday, footage captured by CCTV cameras appeared to show the moment Banksy climbed into a cherry picker wearing a face mask and hard hat as he prepared to paint the Kew Bridge artwork.
Footage showed a van with two men dressed in orange high-vis clothing and helmets.
One of the men, who is masked, is believed to have been Banksy, famed for his politically themed works.
Accompanied by a friend, he was seen in the back of the cherry picker with the two locked in conversation.
The footage was captured at about 5am yesterday.
A painting showing a goat balancing on top of some masonry appeared on the exterior wall of an engineering company near Kew Bridge that morning.
The owner of the building could be in for a big payday – anything Banksy creates invariably increases in value, especially if it’s one of his bigger pieces, experts say.
Properties featuring his work have seen their market values soar over the years, often by hundreds of thousands of pounds.
But some residents hit back and claimed they were concerned the new artwork would hike up rent prices in their area.
