Banksy confirms street artwork with apparent theme of domestic abuse was by him

Banksy has unveiled a new Valentine’s Day mural created on a wall in Margate.

The new artwork, shared on the famous street artist’s Instagram page on Tuesday morning, appears to touch on domestic violence.

It depicts a woman dressed as a 1950s housewife, in a checked dress, an apron and yellow rubber gloves.

She appears to be shutting a man inside an old chest freezer, around which the mural has been created. As it lies on its back in front of the piece, the man’s legs can be seen protruding from the end.
