Bristol City Council Allows Banksy Mural |
|
|
|
BRISTOL, UK.- The Bristol City Council has allowed a mural by artist Banksy to stay after there was "overwhelming support" from the public. The piece of graffiti is located near Bristol City Council's offices. The work shows a woman in her underwear standing behind a suited man leaning out of a window, and a naked man hanging onto the ledge. An internet discussion forum hel by Ask Bristo Forum at BBC showed 97% of submitters supported the work. There were only six people who wanted the work removed.
Councillor Gary Hopkins said, It is fantastic that Bristol's residents have felt so strongly about it as a work of art that they have been encouraged to register their views. I have seen it bring a smile to people's faces as they stop to appraise it, so I personally am pleased that Bristol wants it to stay. I stress that the decision to keep this Banksy image is not a green light for more graffiti in the city."
