Banksy fans have been debating the location of his latest work(Image: Instagram\/@banksy)<\/p>\n
Renowned street artist Banksy set tongues wagging earlier this week after sharing snaps of his latest work to Instagram. The Bristol mystery man’s new piece features the silhouette of a lighthouse alongside the words, “I want to be what you see in me”.<\/p>\n
The lack of caption or any information accompanying his post has left his fans speculating where in the world the art can be found. A second shot offers very little clues either – simply a mature couple and their dogs strolling past the lighthouse. The south of France appears to be a popular suggestion on social media, however, with Banksy<\/a> fans taking to both Instagram<\/a> and X<\/a> to share their theories.<\/p>\n Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n “A new Banksy style\u2026 somewhere in Marseille,” one X user proposed. A French user of the platform added: “The latest Banksy. Maybe in Marseille?”<\/p>\n A third penned on Instagram: “A silent cry for redemption\u2026 the lighthouse is a symbol of hope and guidance but where the f*** is this located (Googles lighthouses in the UK)?” To which a fourth individual simply replied: “Marseille.”<\/p>\n Others concurred with comments, saying: “Yup – Le Panier, Marseille” and, “It’s in Marseille”, whilst one individual speculated its exact address, sharing: “Found it: 1 Rue F\u00e9lix Fregier, 13007 Marseille, France.”<\/p>\n The meaning of the artwork remains a mystery too, meanwhile, although the quote used within it could well be adopted from the song, ‘Lonely’ by Tennessee country band, Lonestar. The second verse of the track is as follows: You’re like God in this world\/Fragile, beautiful\/There’s so much trust in your eyes\/They make me remember, blue skies and sunshine\/I want to be what you see in me\/I want to love you the way that you love me.”<\/p>\n Banksy’s work often carries a political message, with works making reference to topics such as immigration, homelessness and the war in Ukraine. The artist and his team painted seven murals on the West Bank Wall in 2005, a structure built by the Israeli government despite being deemed illegal by the International Court of Justice.<\/p>\n However, the artist has also released a series of artworks with less obvious messages, and the inspiration behind some remains a mystery to this day.<\/p>\n Join Bristol Live\u2019s WhatsApp community for What’s On news sent directly to your phone<\/strong><\/p>\n Bristol Live<\/a> is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join our community.
