Banksy has updated his website with the latest piece for his open air street art tour of NYC, and it's...ant art. There was no text accompanying the video (see it below) of the ant art piece, which is located somewhere on Staten Island, but it appears similar to a vaginal piece he did a few years back. Or maybe it's a commentary on the upcoming Ant-Man movie!
Notably, Banksy has now made it to all five boroughs with this piece: There have been numerous ones in Brooklyn and Manhattan, and this past week there was a traveling piece in the Bronx and a stencil Woodside, Queens. Will he travel to a sixth borough next?
