Banksy Shares New 'Street Art' From His Own Bathroom Because He's Quarantined Like Everyone Else Is
Imagine being an elusive street art guru suddenly getting caught in the grips of a global lockdown. 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.

Despite the coronavirus outbreak, Banksy’s art is still prevailing. Artnet Newsreported that the British artist made a whopping $1.4M in an online sale hosted by Sotheby’s, proving that people would buy Banksy under any circumstances. The final sale price exceeded an estimate of $839K to $1.2M. Surprisingly, or rather not, 47% of buyers were new to Sotheby’s and 30% of bidders were under 40 years old.
Banksy’s most expensive work sold to date was the massive chimp parliament painting named Devolved Parliament. It was sold for a startling $12M at Sotheby’s, which exceeded the high estimate of $2.47M by nearly five times. Artnet reports that laughter, seemingly representing both delight and disbelief, spread throughout the room during the nearly 13-minute bidding battle.

I hope that rat washes his paws after taking a leak. Everyone has to be careful these days.

Banky is great and wholesome and is a great representation of what modern art should be.

I don’t know why she hates it! Doesn’t every woman love images of Rats pissing on the toilet seat before they sit down to do their business?

I love everything about Banksy. His mind is a fabulous place with talent to boot.

The interesting here is "we know that he/she has a wife" and could we know any iother information? In which language or from which country is the toothpaste? Anything else? Panda Holmes, we need you!!!

Just because a wife is mentioned doesn't necessarily mean one actually exists.

I question that this is his house; the man is certainly a millionaire and this would not be the condition he would live in. Also, this is a very retrograde style for a bathroom. I'm thinking that this is installation art. He likes to remain anonymous, therefore why would he give any clue to where he lives?

Who are we to say what condition they live in? I mean, I get that a lot of people go really fancy when they get money, but if they're otherwise living a fairly normal life moving into a giant house would probably bring some questions that they don't want. That and for real just because you have the money to spend doesn't mean that you need to spend it on anything specific.
