Banksy confirms 'domestic abuse' street art is one of his

Banksy has claimed a new piece of artwork which appears to have a theme of domestic abuse and fighting violence against women.

In a series of photographs posted on his Instagram account, the elusive artist captioned the piece “Valentine’s day mascara” and zoomed in twice to show a close-up of the woman’s smiling but seemingly battered face.
