Brick Lane: Banksy creates new three monkeys artwork

The image, showing the black silhouette of three monkeys, was spotted close to Shoreditch High Street yesterday (August 7).

It marks the third animal-themed Banksy artwork to appear in London within three days.

On Monday, the elusive artist posted his composition of a goat perched on top of a wall near Kew Bridge in Richmond.

Happened to be at Brick Lane, so I saw the fresh Banksy. Cheeky monkeys. pic.twitter.com/9cKQsF00rr

The following day, two elephant silhouettes with their trunks stretched towards each other were spotted in Chelsea.

In the latest artwork in Brick Lane, the three monkeys appear to be swinging from the railway bridge, and have attracted crowds of people since they were first noticed.

The trio of murals are not the first by Banksy to appear in the capital this year.

In March, green paint was sprayed on a white wall in Islington behind a cut back tree, giving the impression of foliage.
