An artwork by Banksy which has been dismantled numerous times since it appeared in Margate this week will be relocated to the town’s Dreamland theme park.
The mural, titled Valentine’s Day Mascara, appeared to have a theme of domestic abuse and fighting violence against women as it depicted a 1950s housewife wearing a blue pinny and yellow washing-up gloves with a swollen eye and a missing tooth seemingly shoving her male partner into a chest freezer.
The real-life freezer incorporated within the piece was removed twice in the days after it was discovered in Margate, Kent on Tuesday (February 14). Margate’s amusement park Dreamland will now home the piece so it remains “accessible to all those who want to come and enjoy it”.
