THE next mural by Banksy will be a zebra on the side of a CEX that will really make you think, the artist has confirmed.
Having painted some monkeys, a goat and a rhino, the artist’s next logical step is a zebra wearing a backwards baseball cap and sunglasses in a scathing critique of modern society.
Art dealer Martin Bishop said: “It’ll be sprayed up near some second-hand iPhones and a used Nintendo Switch. Read into that what you will, but for me it’s devastating.
“Much like his other work, it’s a piece that would be completely unremarkable if done by anyone else. But because it’s a Banksy it’ll get front page coverage, urgent enquiries into the ownership of the wall, attempts to turn it into a tourist attraction and a dick tagged over it.
“Perhaps the zebra’s stripes are a commentary on racial division. Perhaps it’s like a barcode, so therefore a subtle satire on consumer capitalism. Perhaps it’s the beginning of gentrification for the area and my investment flat will double in value.
“Either way it’s a Banksy, it’s brilliant, he’ll probably call it Zebra Crossing the Rubicon while we laugh and shake your heads in admiration of the greatest artist of our time, truly a 21st century Rembrandt.”
Banksy said: “I’m also available for pet portrait commissions. £15, p&p included.”
