    „The girl with the pierced eardrum“





    The newest of Banky's Bristol works, this first appeared on the side of a building in Albion Docks in Hanover Place, in Bristol's Harbourside in October 2014. You can find it near to Bristol Marina, look out for the clock tower and the nearby burger van.



    It depicts a take on Vermeer’s famous Girl with a Pearl Earring, replacing the girl’s earring with an outdoor security alarm.

      The street artist who works under the name BANKSY and has so far managed to keep his true identity secret (although there is of course speculation about it) was inspired for this work by a classic of Dutch painting of the 17th century: Jan Vermeer van Delft (1632 to 1675), whose most famous painting today is "Meisje met de parel".
