Yep, we’re talking Banksy. He too, just like a third of the global population, is staying home. But while urban spaces and concrete canvases are no longer an option, the artist has found a domestic alternative to showcase his undisputable skill. And the bathroom doesn’t sound like the most inspiring place at first, but this guy proves us wrong. On April 15, Banksy posted a few images where hand-painted rats are seen wreaking havoc on the alleged artist’s bathroom like there’s no tomorrow. The caption of his Instagram post, which was liked 1.7 million times, reads: “My wife hates it when I work from home.” I mean, nothin’ personal, but I kinda feel her.More info: Instagram | banksy.co.ukThe British street artist posted some pictures of what his alleged bathroom looks like in the lockdownShare iconImage credits: banksyShare iconImage credits: banksyShare iconImage credits: banksy Share iconImage credits: banksyShare iconADVERTISEMENTImage credits: banksyShare iconImage credits: banksyShare iconImage credits: banksyADVERTISEMENTShare iconImage credits: banksyDespite the coronavirus outbreak, Banksy’s art is still prevailing.
