Could artwork under motorway bridge be Banksy ?.  In December 2020 Street Art appeared under a Leicestershire bridge, the work bore many similarities with the work of well known international Street artist Banksy. The work depicts the evolution of man ending with a businessman in a suit holding a briefcase and wearing a blue mask that provides the only colour on an otherwise black and white stenciled artwork. My short film and images take a look at the work and it's surrounding area and invites the viewer to decide for themselves if the work is by the artist or not. At the time of publication the artwork has not yet been claimed by the artist on his Instagram account as is the usual for his works so the question remains, Banksy ?.

I took a dismal trip to Banksy`s Dismaland in Weston Super Mare. Billed as "The UK`s most disappointing new visitor attraction !" the "Bemusement park" as its known features an alternative take on the theme park experience. There's lots of depressingly dismal things to see from the "dismals" who tell you to "get out and not come back" to the riot van slide and fly tip puppet review you can be sure this certainly isn't Disneyland. My short film aims to give a flavor of just some of the works on display and the experience of visiting Banksy`s show at the former Tropicana lido in the town from the security gates through to the Exit through the gift shop at the end. some dismal images follow.
