After a goat, pelicans and a cat, a fish that turns a glass cage into an aquarium was added on Sunday to the animals of the graffiti artist Banksy that appeared every day for a week on the streets of London, sometimes disappearing in speed.
Banksy lifts the lid on the interpretation of his mysterious works painted across London. While many stencils of animals such as pelicans, elephants, monkeys and wolves appeared in a few days on the walls of the British capital, many Internet users questioned their message.
Interview by the media observer, Banksy’s press team, Pest Control Office, now reveals the British street artist’s intentions behind the seven releases.
According to the Pest Control Office, Banksy wanted to “bring joy and humor to people” with these images at a time when the United Kingdom has experienced a series of violent xenophobic riots.
The artist also wants to “emphasize man’s ability to create rather than destroy”, specifically the Office of Pest Control.
