Banksy's latest street art comments on town's steel industry


This Banksy artwork was painted late last night a on a steelworker’s garage in Port Talbot, South Wales, UK. From CNN:


The art, which appears to pay homage to the town’s industrial past, depicts a child playing in what looks like snow. But viewed from another angle this appears to be embers and smoke from a skip fire….


Properties and cars were covered with black dust from the town’s steelworks in July, which has been suggested as a potential inspiration for the work…


A Neath Port Talbot council spokesperson told CNN in a statement that they are sending officers to liaise with the property owner in order to assist in protecting the artwork but noted that the graffiti is on private property.
