🇧🇷Looks like the British artist went to the war zone“, declared Stefano Antonelli, curator of important Banksy exhibitions who allegedly did two works in Ukraine against Putin. The works of the famous street artist were revealed yesterday by some exclusive images from photographer Ed Ram even though there has yet to be any complaints.
Stefano Antonelli and Gianluca Marziani of the A&M Art Curation Lab, who have curated several Banksy exhibitions, have no doubt that the new works in Ukraine are by the English artist. While no claim to authorship of the two new works that emerged in the war zone has been claimed, the two curators found several details in the two works that could make Banksy’s art think. It has been a long time since the famous street artist has come out with a new work and, according to the two curators, it is possible that he will reappear after nearly two years of silence in a war-torn country like Ukraine.
Banksy’s absence in recent years has fueled a lot of speculation about his identity and his work, but new works that have appeared in Ukraine may provide a plausible explanation for this long silence. According to the curators, the two works may not be the only ones in the program, but “it is plausible that more will emerge in the coming days“Indeed, Banksy’s long silence is likely to have been accompanied by deep reflection on the current tense situation between Ukraine and Russia.
The meaning of works
The two works in Ukraine allegedly attributed to Banksy were done next to each other in the partially destroyed town of Borodyanka. The first work represents a child judoka who knocks out an adult: the child, according to Ansa, could symbolize Ukraine invaded by Russia, while the adult could be Putin, who has been suspended as honorary president of the international judo federation. The second work, which appeared near a very busy street in Borodyanka, is an image of two children playing on a swing made with a Friesian horse, which is used in Ukraine to stop the enemy’s advance.
