Homelessness Gets The Treatment By Banksy In New Street Art

Banksy has sort of come full circle in our book. When the artist first emerged on the scene his work was thought provoking and original, then of course overdone and annoying and now with time to mellow, once again able to be seen for what it is. His latest street art work of Reindeer pulling a bench where a homeless man is sleeping in Birmingham. While maybe provocative out of context, his instagram post is poignant - "God bless Birminghman. In the 20 minutes we filmed Ryan on this bench passers-by gave him a hot drink, two chocolate bars and a lighter - without him ever asking for anything."
