BRITISH ARTIST BANKSY have revealed a lockdown-inspired work, bringing his trademark rat character to what purports to be bathroom.
The elusive artist shared five images on Instagram this evening, with the caption: “My hates it when I work from home.”
In the images, the rats are shown knocking the bathroom mirror to one side, hanging on the light pull, swinging on a towel ring and stepping on a tube of toothpaste.
One rat is seen skipping on a roll of toilet paper, which has rolled down and across the floor.
Banksy is originally from Bristol and first gained fame as a graffiti artist before going onto to international acclaim, selling multi-million euro pieces across the world.
His work often satirises consumerism and he has been a frequent critic of the art world his work now inhabits. In 2018, one of his artworks partially self-destructed after being sold for €1.2 million at London auction.
He later revealed that it was intended that the paining be shredded completely.
I only wish you were more clear in your advertising about the fertility benefits you offer. I run a support group in Ireland for sufferers and they are so disappointed with how their claims were handled. Any mention of prior seeking of help or testing for fertility and you didn’t seem to offer any coverage. You also only offer it via one clinic in Ireland who have an inflated ivf cost compared to the other clinics. Would you consider opening it up to some of more leading clinics? For any ultrasounds or procedures required which are in any way fertility related and not actual ivf on standard plans claims seem to be rejected even though their gp referred and essential.
@Orla Galvin: well said
Fertility problems are one of the many health issues facing serving & former Air Corps personnel after chemical health & safety was totally ignored until whistle-blowers reported the Air Corps to the Minister for Defence and the Health & Safety Authority. In some workplace location male infertility is 50% due to unprotected exposure to Benzene, Toluene & Xylene etc. Military personnel receive free medical treatment as part of their service, this does not extend to IVF and for many on military pay rates it is simply unaffordable. We have an IVF story here http://www.accas.info
