New Banksy like artwork appears in Somerset village

Somerset’s answer to Banksy, known only by the pseudonym Disney.b32, has created the hidden artwork in a secret location in Brean.

The piece features a monochrome clown with a bright red nose on a brick wall. The exact location is unknown, and whoever discovers the artwork will also get to keep a signed print with the spray painted words ‘Finders Keepers’ included.

Disney.b32 said: “For me, cutting shapes out of card and elusively wondering through the shadows alone in the witching hour painting by touch light with nobody else around gives me a sense of freedom an escapism.”

The pseudonymous street artist previously spoke with the Somerset County Gazette in an interview, citing their inspiration from the “injustices happening around us in local communities, from social deprivation to youths losing their lives to knife crime.”

The street artist also uses artwork to mark important events in the UK’s history. Disney is often mistaken for Banksy, the Bristol-based pseudonymous street artist, who hosted the Dismaland temporary art project in Weston-super-Mare in 2015.
