A monkey piece in London

A new mural by Banksy has appeared in London, the third new work unveiled by the elusive street artist in three days.

The artwork shows three monkeys swinging on the bridge of a subway station in the eastern part of the city. According to BBC NewsThe latest work is located on a bridge over Brick Lane, not far from Shoreditch High Street, as confirmed by a post on Banksy’s Instagram account on August 7.

The work is the third featuring animals to go on display in London this week. One shows a black mountain goat perched on a wall bracket facing a security camera near London’s Kew Bridge; the other shows two elephants facing each other and was painted on two obscured windows in Chelsea.

The artist’s posts about the three works contained neither captions nor titles, which led to speculation on the Internet about what the artist wanted to express with them.

In addition to the immediate attention of fans, the three new works in London may also require additional protection. A Banksy painting in the north of the city, depicting a life-sized woman with a pressure washer, was daubed with white paint shortly after its release in March. The owner of the apartment building later installed plastic sheeting and wooden boards.
