런던(AP) — 정체를 밝히지 않은 거리 미술가 뱅크시가 목요일 런던 중심부에 나타난 새로운 조각상이 자신의 작품임을 발표했다. 이 조각상은 받침대에서 걸어 나오는 남자가 펄럭이는 깃발로 얼굴이 가려진 모습을 표현하고 있다.
뱅크시는 목요일 자신의 인스타그램 계정에 올린 유머러스한 영상에서 그 조각상이 한밤중에 어떻게 설치되었는지를 보여주는 스니펫들을 공개했다. 이 조각상은 수요일 이른 시간에 버킹엄 궁전 근처 워털루 플레이스의 교통섬 위의 받침대에 세워진 것으로 보인다.
예술가의 게시물 전에도 받침대 밑바닥에 뱅크시의 서명이 새겨져 있다는 이유로 지역 주민들과 관광객들이 그 상을 살펴보기 위해 모여들었다.
그 조각상은 1901년부터 1910년까지 통치한 에드워드 7세 국왕과 전설의 간호사 플로렌스 나이팅게일, 그리고 크림전쟁 기념비의 상들과 가까운 위치에 있다.
조각상은 뱅크시가 주로 알려진 작품 형태가 아니다. 그는 건물에 분무 페인트로 그린 작품으로 훨씬 더 유명하며, 1990년대 초 남서부 영국의 고향인 브리스톨에서 처음 창작물이 나타났다. 그 이후 전 세계적으로 활동을 확대했으며 그의 그림과 설치미술 작품들은 경매에서 수백만 달러에 팔렸다. 그의 거리 미술은 종종 도둑과 기물 파손자들의 표적이 된다.
정체를 공개한 적이 없는 뱅크시는 공개 장소에 미술 작품을 설치하는 비밀스러운 행위를 전복적 표현 형태로 본 거리 미술가 전통의 일부이다.

LONDON (AP) — Elusive street artist Banksy said Thursday that a new sculpture that appeared in central London of a man striding off a plinth, with his face blinded by a billowing flag, is his work.
In a humorous video posted Thursday on his Instagram account, Banksy showed snippets of how the sculpture was put up in the dead of night. The sculpture appeared to have been erected in the early hours of Wednesday on a plinth on a traffic island in Waterloo Place, near Buckingham Palace.
Before the artist’s post, locals and tourists gathered to inspect the statue on the assumption it was Banksy’s work because his signature was scrawled at the base of the plinth.
The statue is situated close to those of King Edward VII, who reigned between 1901 and 1910, and legendary nurse Florence Nightingale, as well as the Crimean War Memorial.
Statues are not what Banksy is primarily known for. He is far more famous for his spray-painting on buildings, with his first creations appearing in the early 1990s in his hometown of Bristol in southwest England. He has since gone global and his paintings and installations have sold for millions of dollars at auction. His street art is often targeted by thieves and vandals.
Banksy, who has never publicly revealed his identity, is part of a tradition of street artists who viewed the undercover act of posting their art in public as a subversive form of expression.
