BANKSY IN TRIBUTE TO GEORGE FLOYD

At the golds that tens of thousands of people in the world beat the pavement during the first weekend of June to express ras-le-bol their racism and police brutality after death George Floyd, Banksy has unveiled a new work inspired by the situation on Instagram.

On the first image shared by the artist with the secret identity, the drawing of a portrait of a black silhouette surrounded by flowers and candles, one of which is lit in close-up. On the second, the same drawing, seen in a larger plan, with the flag of the United States beginning to catch fire.

"It's not their problem, it's mine"

The drawing is accompanied by a few words from the street artist. “At first I thought I should just shut up and listen to black people about this problem. But why would I do this?

It's not their problem, it's mine, "Banksy writes on the third part of his slideshow. The famous street artist published on Instagram a drawing where we see a candle, watching next to a photo of a black silhouette, setting fire to the American flag.

“At first, I said to myself that I should be quiet and just listen to black people on the subject. But why would I do that?

It's not their problem, it's mine, ”writes the artist in a message that accompanies his work.

"It's a white problem. And if the white people don't take care of it, someone will have to go upstairs and smash the door, ”concludes Banksy under this drawing which has gathered on Instagram more than two million likes in 24 hours.
