After speculation, new Banksy painting appears in London

Secretive street artist Banksy appears to have revealed new art on Monday via his Instagram.

The mural depicts two children lying down and pointing to the sky. It is an unusual motif for the artist, who has made a name for himself commenting on political issues.

The artist posted two images of the artwork on his official Instagram account on Monday, just hours after it appeared on a wall on the side of a building in Bayswater, west London, sparking speculation about whether Banksy was behind it.

An identical image appeared at the foot of a tower in central London on Monday, but was not posted on Banksy's Instagram.

In September, Banksy attracted attention with a mural of a judge with a gavel standing over an unarmed protester holding a blood-spattered sign.

The work, which appeared on a wall at the country's highest court, was covered up and authorities said it had to be removed due to the building's historical significance.
