Banksy's Park Street Mural Defaced

Banksy park street mural defaced

Disappointed to see this on the BBC website this morning. It is thought that the Banksy mural was attacked using a paintball gun sometime between Monday 22 June and Tuesday 23 June. It’s surprising how long this piece had remained intact for really, atleast 3 or 4 years, but perhaps with all the hype surrounding his current exhibition ‘Banksy versus Bristol Museum’ this is some sort of backlash. Maybe someone was sick of queueing to see his show and decided to get even.

Hopefully an effort will be made to try and clean up the piece. The splodges that haven’t hit the painting can be dealt with pretty easily, as for the rest, it depends on what kind of paint was used.

  1. This is a real shame, I just can’t understand the reasoning behind this kind of pointless act. I guess there is no reason. Just stupidity.
