Banksy's new work in anticipation of the holidays is moving. The popular British artist, this time painted a wall in Birmingham and the work has already gone viral.
His new work depicts two reindeer "dragging" a bench on which a homeless man, Ryan, is lying, next to the bags with all his belongings. The scene is reminiscent of Santa's sleigh with reference to the people who are most tested, especially in the "heart" of the British winter. "God bless Birmingham," Banksy writes.
The artist uploaded a video to his Instagram account, which already has over 1 million views.
Banksy says that in the 20 minutes he videotaped Ryan, he saw passers-by offering the homeless man a hot drink, two chocolate bars and a lighter, without him asking for anything. Bansky's work immediately became an attraction, however, a few hours later, someone vandalized it by painting the reindeer noses red.
