Banksy unveils his new rhino artwork on Aug. 12, 2024

Street artist Banksy has revealed the eighth piece in his animal-themed art collection in London.

On Monday, Aug. 12, Banksy posted his mural on Instagram, which shows a rhinoceros designed to look as if it is stepping on top of an old silver Nissan that has a traffic cone on the hood to resemble the wild animal.

The artwork joins the anonymous painter’s previous works — featuring monkeys, elephants, piranhas and more — scattered throughout the city.

The new mural is on the side of a building in Westmoor Street in southeast London, according to Sky News, which also reported that workers found the artwork when they arrived on site.

People in the comments are enjoying Banksy’s recent activity as new murals have been popping up daily since Aug. 5, when the artist unveiled his painting of a goat perching on a pillar towards the top of a building.

"Love it. What a clever piece of work," one person wrote about the rhino mural. "They just get better," another said.

Animal organizations are praising the new painting with the International Rhino Foundation writing, "We may be biased but this is definitely our favorite Banksy," and the UK-based charity Helping Rhinos saying, "So clever! Definitely our favourite, but that’s probably not surprising."

Prior to the rhino artwork, Banksy painted a piranha piece on a bright blue City of London police box. A spokesperson for the government agency said they are looking into ways to "preserve" the art piece, per The Guardian.

The second painting was on a building and featured two elephants with their trunks pointed toward each other, followed by a piece depicting three monkeys climbing on a vine that was painted on a bridge over a street.

Next, he painted a wolf howling on a satellite dish that resembled a full moon. The piece has been removed, with The Guardian stating it was taken off the roof of the building less than an hour after it was uncovered.

The fifth painting was on a fish bar and depicted two pelicans eating fish, one of which came from the store’s logo. The traditional fish and chips shop posted on social media about the street art, writing, "So proud to have a @banksy on the side of our shop! Thank you for choosing us, and Walthamstow to showcase your talent."

The sixth piece was a stretching cat painted on a boarded up billboard. The piece was also removed shortly after being unveiled, with Sky News noting a crowed "booed as the piece was dismantled by three men."

Banksy has been sharing photos of the artwork daily on Instagram without captions or details on the location. Many have speculated over the meaning of the pieces and how many there will be in total.
