A new street artwork attributed to Banksy appeared on the Queen’s Building at the Royal Courts of Justice in London on September 8, showing a judge striking a protester with a gavel. It was swiftly concealed by court staff with black plastic and metal barriers, citing heritage protection. The artist confirmed authorship via Instagram. Activists argued the suppression only amplified the work’s message.
Banksy uses the streets as his canvas like no one else. While his real name remains unknown, his works are famous worldwide for making powerful statements.
