Banksy has unveiled another new artwork on Wednesday, this time depicting three monkeys on a bridge on London’s Brick Lane.
It’s the third animal artwork in the capital that the Bristol-based artist has claimed credit for this week, following elephants appearing in Chelsea and a goat at Kew Bridge.
The artist posted an image on Instagram of the monkeys looking as though they were swinging on the bridge.
It has been done in black near a vintage clothing shop and a coffee house in the popular market street, not far from Shoreditch High Street.
On Tuesday he posted a photo of two elephant silhouettes, with their trunks stretched towards each other. He posted artwork of a goat perched on top of a wall near Kew Bridge in Richmond on Monday.
He has not written a caption for any of the Instagram posts, which has fuelled speculated online about their meaning.
Three monkeys have been associated with the Japanese proverb “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”.
In Banksy’s work the monkeys are not covering their eyes, ears or mouths.
