The chest freezer which was incorporated into a new Banksy wall painting has been removed from the area, allegedly due to fly-tipping. The Bristol artist's new work was discovered on a side wall in Margate, Kent, and was claimed by the elusive artist today (February 14) with a series of photos of the piece on his Instagram account.
Titled Valentine’s Day Mascara, the piece depicts 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 resident of the property where the painting was created, who asked not to be named, told the PA news agency the freezer and other items used for the artwork had been removed at midday today.
It has not been confirmed as of yet whether Thanet District Council was behind removing the items. Discussing how she felt about the removal, the tenant said: “I’m absolutely upset because it’s not really nice.
