The original home of Port Talbot's Banksy has been painted over with a new artwork mocking its removal

A garage in Port Talbot was formerly the home of work by world-renowned street artist Banksy but the artwork has since been removed by a gallery owner. Now, new artwork has appeared in the former home of Banksy and appears to be mocking the decision to remove it.

Named Season's Greetings the original Banksy piece shows a child enjoying snow falling, with the other side revealing it is from fire emitting ash and it was believed to be a reference to the Port Talbot steel works. Season's Greetings was then brought by John Brandler, a gallery owner, and remained in Port Talbot on display until January 2022.

The Banksy piece is currently on tour in Milan and Bristol street artists John Doh has now painted a new artwork in the same place, appearing to mock Mr Brandler. The new piece of art shows a family looking at a blank section of wall, annotated with "look Dad, it's a Banksy", followed by "no it's a John Brandler son."
