An art expert has given his verdict over a new mural which appears to have similarities to work of the world famous Banksy. The graffiti, which shows an elderly man holding a can while looking at three pigeons illustrated behind him, appeared on a brick wall in Nottinghamshire.
According to neighbours on Addison Street, the artwork first appeared on Monday, May 1. While residents in the area were left "stunned" by the artwork, a local artist has weighed in to say that this artwork is "probably not a Banksy."
Speaking to NottinghamshireLive, Principal Lecturer in Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University, Dr Benedict Carpenter explained why the graffiti doesn't resemble Banksy's work.
