Now everyone does seem to get awfully excited these days when a new Banksy mural appears. It was no surprise therefore to find the great and the good of the street art world out in force to see his latest piece. The last time a Banksy appeared in the city, it got covered up within 24 hours. With that in mind it’s always worth getting there quick.

The main work features a stencilled police man and woman. Recognisably by Banksy, they appear to be conducting a stop and search on Basquiat. We know it’s him because the image of Basquiat is from an image that the artist himself painted back in 1982. That was as part of the piece ‘Boy and Dog in a Johnnypump‘. The work features an abstract skeletal figure of a man with a dog. It’s a piece full of energy and was meant to be a self representation. It was painted at a time when Basquiat was really starting to get courted in the art world and making a name for himself.
