London was surprised with a new Banksy tree mural that is detailed with a bright splash of green on a wall with a dead tree integrated from a distance. A side of a building is painted by Finsbury Park and Banksy confirmed that he was involved online on Instagram.
The real bare tree stands in front of the green paint and when viewed from an angle, it looks like a full canopy. Banksy aims to bring conversation around the struggles of nature when it exists in urban spaces. The bright paint is possibly applied using a fire distinguished to add to the same concept. It stands in contrast to the bare branches which highlight the urban ‘foliage.’
