A mural Banksy painted on the Royal Courts of Justice has been covered and will be removed.

It should be framed.


Banksy mural of judge beating protester at Royal Courts of Justice in London to be removed

A new Banksy painting showed a judge beating a protester with a gavel. Activists saw it as a reference to the U.K. government's ban on the group Palestine Action.

Gotta say he's a damn good artist in his talent with medium and his choice of 'subjects'.
And damn good at lying low all these years. Seems a good chance he has been fingered, but nothing concrete.

I'm surprised he was able to get away with this on such a well protected building. It must have taken him some time to paint it.

As for his identity the only person who knows it for sure is the man who markets his material.

So how will they find and charge him, and prove he painted this? The extremely embarrassed UK police are on the job!
 
It is crazy how he hasn't been fully exposed. I can see someone getting away with it for a time, but this is like 30 years!
Gotta be a few people involved in various aspects. Tight knit group!

The Hidden Identity Of Banksy: Did the Artist Ever Show His Face? What We Know - Masterworks

Banksy's identity has never been confirmed, but there are several theories about who is behind some of the most famous graffiti art of all time.

He/they(anyone who knows) smashed Osama's hide and seek record.
 
They're going to remove the mural, but are they really trying to capture Banksy? That would be politically risky as hell.
