Banksy has revealed a new London artwork featuring a goat perched on top of a wall.

The street artist, whose identity is not known, posted the new piece featuring the goat silhouette with rocks falling down below it and a CCTV camera pointed at it, on Instagram this afternoon.

It is thought the artwork is based near Kew Bridge in Richmond.

The work follows a migrant boat created by Banksy, which was crowd surfed at Glastonbury in June, during performances by Bristol indie punk band Idles and rapper Little Simz.

It was described by then-home secretary James Cleverly as “trivialising” small boats crossings and “vile”, but the artist responded saying his reaction was a “a bit over the top”.

The Bristol artist said it was the real boat he funded being detained by Italian authorities, after it had rescued unaccompanied children at sea, that he deemed “vile and unacceptable”.

In March, the artist created a tree mural in north London, which saw a tree cut back with green paint sprayed behind it to give the impression of foliage.

A stencil of a person holding a pressure hose was also sketched on to the building.

The vivid paint colour matched that used by Islington Council for street signs in the area.
