Banksy’s latest artwork, a stencil of a howling wolf painted on a satellite dish in Peckham, was stolen just hours after it was revealed in London as per a report by The Guardian. This piece is part of a new animal-themed series that has appeared across the city this week, stirring excitement and speculation.
The elusive Bristol-based artist shared the series on Instagram, where fans quickly spotted the new works. The first piece, located near Kew Bridge, shows a goat precariously balanced on a ledge with rocks tumbling below, watched by a nearby CCTV camera. In Chelsea, Banksy added another work featuring silhouettes of two elephants with their trunks intertwined, painted on the blocked-out windows of a house. A third piece, near Brick Lane, depicts a trio of monkeys swinging across a bridge.
Dubbed the “London zoo” series by fans, the collection has sparked debate about its meaning. Some interpret the works as a commentary on recent far-right riots, likening the rioters to animals in a zoo. Banksy’s decision to post the images without captions has only fueled the speculation.
