Banksy Unveils New Gorilla Artwork at London Zoo

Banksy has unveiled his ninth new artwork in London, featuring a gorilla at the zoo appearing to lift a shutter to free various animals, including birds and a seal. This piece adds to a series of animal-themed artworks that have been appearing daily throughout the city, with recent works also including piranhas on a police box and a rhino on a car. The Zoological Society of London plans to protect the gorilla artwork with a perspex cover, as public interest continues to grow. However, many of Banksy's pieces have faced vandalism or removal shortly after their unveiling, highlighting the ongoing tension between public appreciation and preservation of street art. While some speculate on the deeper meanings behind these creations, the artist remains elusive, leaving interpretations open to the public. Overall, Banksy's latest series has sparked a mix of admiration and frustration among fans and art critics alike.
