New Banksy Artworks Keep Popping Up All Over New York City, And Here’s What People Found So Far
Known for his satirical style and political remarks, Banksy never misses an opportunity to make a statement. Murals of this famous artist have been popping up all around New York City for a while now, and 2018 is no exception.
His latest thought-provoking piece rests on an abandoned gas station, located in Midwood, Brooklyn. It portrays a man who appears to be a real estate developer, stock-lashing and driving away a group of people. Capitalism aside, the street artist continues to raise social awareness on political issues as well. Another popular mural artwork he produced in 2018 addresses the imprisonment of Zehra Doğan. She was sentenced by a court in Turkey to two years and nine months in prison for painting an image of the destroyed Kurdish-majority city of Nusaybin, obliterated by the Turkish government forces.
Scroll down to check out the latest street art from Banksy and let us know in the comments if you think his cool artworks are still on point!

i like the zehra dogan work. i often find his work overly simplified in message. but i do like when he brings awareness to issues that locals would otherwise not be aware of.
Wish i could add a picture! I spotted a Banksy http://thefamousjunkie.blogspot.com/2017/12/possibly-best-day-of-my-life.html
I don't think banksy is vandalizing with his art, I read some where that it brings so much attention it's usually a positive influence brought from the piece of art. Though this is a double standard of course, any other person would be sought after and punished. I personally would love to see who is actually banksy, I love the allure of his mysterious existence.
Love the Free Zahra Dogan image--hopefully this will bring attention to her imprisonment!
Don’t you think 3 years in prison for a painting is to much?? Just ask them to distrito the painting, no prison pls
How can you be sure they’re Banksy? The idea is, he sneaks along in the dark, does his thing and vanishes. How on earth could be do the rat unnoticed?
from what I understand, If he places it on his website, it is his!.
Load More Replies... Love, Love, Love Banksy. Just started to follow in my 60's. Been to Wynwood in Miami and I am now hooked on street art and Graffiti. Planning a trip to NYC in June 2019. A van full of family on a crazy trip to see art! any places to definitely MUST see in NYC? sschubert@oberlin.net..let me know your thoughts
I don't mind him painting on sides of old buildings, concrete and such. But defacing the clock is wrong. Even art should respect other peoples property
It's an abandoned building...and now that clock is worth thousands (to be stolen shortly)

Not sure why your comment got down voted, so you really think that is his true identity ?
Load More Replies... Banksy makes art and often makes an ugly place look beautiful. A vandal just makes a mess and makes a beautiful place to look ugly.

He may be pretentious, but explain why you say "naive." He seems pretty aware of where he is and how to get his message across. He is also skilled as an artist.
