Bristol, the hometown of the renowned artist Banksy, has recently been adorned with a collection of captivating street art. Notably, one of the pieces appears to depict the elusive artist himself. Italian street artist TVBoy, also known as Salvatore Benintende, created a mural showcasing a police officer handcuffing a figure wearing a hoodie with Banksy’s iconic signature. In an interview with HuffPost, TVBoy expressed his admiration for Banksy and his desire to establish a dialogue with the famous artist. He shared a video of the artwork on Instagram, accompanied by Sia’s “Unstoppable.”
TVBoy’s artistic endeavors in Bristol also include several playful pieces with a royal theme. Kate, the Princess of Wales, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry, King Charles III, Queen Camilla, and the late Queen Elizabeth II are all featured in his artwork. TVBoy explained that he aimed to connect with the local community by incorporating the constant media coverage of the Royal Family into his creations.
Additionally, TVBoy created a thought-provoking commentary on racism, inspired by Banksy’s early-2000s self-installation of his art in museums. He filmed himself replicating this act at Banksy’s show, expressing his eagerness to learn from the renowned artist.
Overall, Bristol has become a hub of vibrant street art, with TVBoy paying homage to Banksy while adding his own unique touch. These thought-provoking murals serve as a testament to the significance of street art in sparking conversations and engaging with the local community.
