Banksy unveils Seventh Work in a Week in London

Banksy on Sunday unveiled a new artwork in London, depicting a shoal of fish on a police sentry box, his seventh animal-themed piece in London over the last week.

Banksy confirmed on Instagram that the latest to appear overnight, in the City of London financial district, was his own. Prior to Sunday, they had all been dark silhouette images, of a goat, elephants, monkeys, a wolf, pelicans and a cat.

The latest work appears to have been made using translucent spray paint on the sentry box's glass windows, turning it into what looks like a giant fish tank.

Several months usually pass between new Banksy artworks and this week's daily unveilings have sparked speculation about what they could mean.
