The identity of the elusive street artist Banksy may finally have been uncovered after decades of speculation, following a major investigation by Reuters. The report, published in mid-March 2026, claims that the anonymous artist is Robin Gunningham, a Bristol-born figure long linked to the underground graffiti scene.
Described by investigators as 'beyond dispute', the findings are the result of years of research combining public records, travel data and historical evidence. However, Banksy has not confirmed the claim, and his representatives have continued to protect his anonymity, leaving the identity officially unverified.
