Banksy has revealed a new piece of art in west London.
The famous street artist’s latest work features a silhouette of a goat, perched on top of a wall.
It is done in his signature stencil-style and a CCTV camera is nearby, at times pointed at the animal, as rocks fall down below it.
It is thought the artwork is based near Kew Bridge, in Richmond.
Banksy posted the art on his Instagram – which is how he has previously claimed his work.
This comes around a month after his last piece of art led to the then Home Secretary James Cleverly calling it “trivialising”.
The Bristol artist, whose identity is not known, had an imitation migrant boat crowd surf at Glastonbury in June during performances by indie punk band Idles and rapper Little Simz.
At the time, Mr Cleverly said it was “trivialising” the issue of small boats crossings and “vile”.
But the artist said the politician’s reaction was “a bit over the top”.
Banksy added that the real boat he funded being detained by Italian authorities after rescuing unaccompanied children at sea, was actually what was “vile and unacceptable”.
