A piece of graffiti thought to be the work of renowned guerrilla artist Banksy has appeared in Sutton – and the council is asking residents what should be done about it.
The graffiti or is it ‘art’ (?), depicts a punk trying to assemble a flat pack from a fictitious shop called ‘IEAK’ apparently reading instructions on how to put together a graffiti slogan. The IKEA chimney’s can be seen behind the graffiti.
The graffiti does look like a Banksy piece and many people have commented online to that effect.
We have dedicated teams in Sutton that remove graffiti on a daily basis. It’s hugely anti-social and something that we work quickly to eradicate.
But I know that people hold strong views on Banksy’s work with some seeing it as art while others view it as vandalism. So, I want to hear what you think. Should it stay or should it go?
For the moment I have asked the Council to keep an open mind on this and I’m looking forward to your feedback before deciding what to do with the wall.
If you want to have your say please email your views to artorgraffiti@sutton.gov.uk
