Banksy's 'Girl with a Pierced Eardrum' has been updated for the coronavirus era with the addition of a blue surgical face mask.
LONDON - Banksy’s “Girl with a Pierced Eardrum” has been updated for the coronavirus era with the addition of a blue surgical face mask.
The mural, a take on Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring” but with a security alarm replacing the pearl, was painted on a harbourside building in the street artist’s home city of Bristol in west England in 2014. It is not known whether Banksy, whose identity is a closely guarded secret, or somebody else attached the fabric face mask to the painted girl.
The newly adorned mural did not appear on Banksy’s Instagram page where he usually posts images of his work.He unveiled a scene of his trademark stencilled rats running amok in a bathroom rather than on the streets last week, reflecting official advice form the British government to stay at home.Reporting by Paul Sandle; editing by Stephen Addison
