Why Banksy painted over his ‘Devolved Parliament’ before it sold for a record in London
... [+]
In the painting sold on October 3, the great wood-paneled hall in Westminster has been rendered in subdued grandeur by Banksy with exacting architectural detail. There is a deep walnut-hued twilight cast on the paneling, benches and the central book-lined table for the dispatch boxes, where the prime minister stands.
Banksy has a sort of walk-in relationship with the Bristol Museum, much as one would have at one's local gas station or pub. His ferociously-protected identity is not particularly important to this, but if we accept the premise that Banksy is the music-soaked former Bristol Cathedral School student-turned-grafitti-artist Robin Gunningham, born in Yate, 12 miles from Bristol itself, then the Bristol Museum is the go-to home-town institution.
