Bansky's latest artwork takes working from home to a whole new level

With the UK under lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, Banksy's street art will have been somewhat restricted lately.

But that doesn't mean the mysterious figure hasn't been busy.

"My wife hates it when I work from home," Banksy wrote on Instagram on Wednesday evening.

The accompanying photos (swipe right to look through all of them) show a bathroom in disarray, with a number of Banksy's signature stencilled rats wreaking havoc.

Banksy's last outdoor artwork was done in Bristol, UK, around Valentine's Day. It shows a little girl with a catapult, firing an explosion of red flowers into the sky.

Banksy isn't the only street artist responding to the new reality of the pandemic, either. In countries across the world, a number of artists have been sharing their own reactions to the ongoing crisis.
