Satirical Banksy-style mural shows Donald Trump as evolutionary misstep
With Brexit and the election of Donald Trump, street artists in Britain are having a blast.
The most popular of them all, mysterious master Banksy, made the headlines with a cheeky Brexit mural while another one, Pegasus, created a painting comparing Trump to Hitler.
Now it's the turn of Loretto, a south-London graffiti artist who previously painted an image of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn dressed up as the Italian monk St Francis of Assisi.
Loretto put his signature on a mural unveiled on Great Marlborough Street, in the uber central Soho area, showing Donald Trump in a fragment of the famous "March of Progress" illustration.
In the mural, Trump is depicted marching between two ancient human ancestors.
People praised the satirical artwork on Instagram:
As reported on the Art Ring blog, Loretto uses a Banksy-like graffiti style to make a satirical commentary on the socio-political situation of today.
"The undefined outlines and the detailed use of the colours create a recognisable style which diversifies from Banksy," the blog says.
"His satirical graffiti involve famous characters, current events and images often associated with sentences to reinforce the meaning of the message."
