it popped up overnight a fresh bangy mural gracing the wall of this North London block of flats the green paint filling out the branches of the cut tree in front of it restoring residents say some of the trees former glory we've lived here for 3 years so we've seen the tree kind of be as it was when it was all full of leaves and now it's been chopped down so I suppose it's nice that a statement's been made about it it's really exciting and I'm really happy for the community and where there's a bangy there's
a crowd the artists Blockbuster appeal drawing people from Far a field like Lorraine who's come down from leads just to see the mural I'm just a really big fan I love Banks's humor I love the the messages that he gives um it's just for me is is my number one is my number one artist but what does it mean so much of Banks's work is political but he lets the art speak for itself this mural only works with the tree branches in front of it a metaphor perhaps for just how much we depend on nature
that's the conversation local MP Jeremy Corbin wants to start we live in one world we live in one environment it is vulnerable it is um on the cusp of serious damage being done to it I think it makes people think and uh environmental politics is about densely populated urban areas is like this just as much as it is about farmland and Woodland and hedges the concept might just save this mural from being sold or stolen like Banks's last work before this one depicting drones on a stop sign in South London stolen within an hour of
being authenticated and though this crumbly wall might mean it's unclear how long the mural will hold that may also be part of the message melin Sky News
