Gotta hand it to the authorities. At first, I was mad when they scrubbed the Banksy, but they have unintentionally made one of the most powerful artworks of all time.
Everything they do to hide or erase it makes it look more poignant than the original.

A photograph of a "reverse graffiti" street art piece, likely by the artist Banksy. The artwork is created by cleaning a grimy stone wall, so the image appears as a dark silhouette against the lighter, cleaned stone.

As the powers at be have covered up this new #Banksy work, the only proper course of action by a concerned population is to spread the image as far and wide as we can before it disappears.

The new Banksy artwork outside the Royal Courts of Justice of a judge hitting an unarmed protester holding a blood spattered placard with a gavel, as a barrister in a black gown and white wig carrying papers walks past.

What matters is not who #Banksy is but what he is saying.

Each picture really does speak a thousand words.

Bansky 's latest work appeared on the wall of Royal Courts of Justice in London.The artwork is on a plain wall and shows a protester, who shields himself with a blood-smeared placard lying at at ground level. It depicts a judge in a traditional white wig leaing over the man and raising his gavel as if to strike him.

Neues Banksy-Werk an Londoner Gerichtsgebäude soll entfernt werden

Der geheimnisvolle Streetart-Künstler Banksy hat erneut zugeschlagen - diesmal an der Mauer eines eigentlich streng bewachten Gerichtsgebäudes in London. Lange war das Werk jedoch nicht zu sehen.

Painted on a white wall, in dripping red,

IF GRAFFITI CHANGED ANYTHING - IT WOULD BE ILLEGAL

A little rat is painted in the lower right corner, holding a paintbrush, looking back at the words. — Painted on a white wall, in dripping red, IF GRAFFITI CHANGED ANYTHING - IT WOULD BE ILLEGAL A little rat is painted in the lower right corner, holding a paintbrush, looking back at the words.

#Banksy is a genius. The more the government paints over the mural depicting a protester being silenced by a judge, the more poignant its message becomes.

Absolute artistic masterpiece.

The graffiti after it has been scrubbed. The outline of the original artwork remains clearly visible as a gray shadow on the wall.

The original Banksy graffiti. It’s a grayscale paintwork of a protester on the ground getting beaten by a judge in a robe and wig and swinging a gavel. The protester’s white sign in splattered in red blood.
