The British street artist Banksy created two graffiti for the Olympics

London - The British street artist known by the pseudonym Banksy has created two new graffiti pieces themed around the Olympic Games, which begin in London on Friday. This was reported by the news site Worldcrunch.
     The first of the Olympic wall paintings in typical Banksy black-and-white style depicts a javelin thrower throwing a rocket missile. The second shows a pole vaulter jumping over a chain-link fence with a landing area made of an old mattress.
     Nobody yet knows where these graffiti are located; Banksy posted their photographs on his website on Monday.
     As the Atlantic Wire reported, Banksy's latest graffiti are a response to the arrest of graffiti artists by the London police last week and also to the banning of street art from Olympic venues, which also affects Banksy.
     The British newspaper The Guardian commented on London's war against street art, stating that tourists do not come to London to see polished perfection. They would rather see the chaotic blend of the old with the new – and also Banksy, who according to the newspaper is "the prince of street art."
     Banksy is a cult figure in both British and global street art with an unmistakable style and humor. His true identity is unknown, but he is believed to come from Bristol.
