Have we just discovered the next Banksy? Since Monday, we’ve been on an exciting animal-themed hunt to locate the new Banksy pieces dropped in London. Banksy has been dropping photos of his creations every lunchtime, and it’s a race to get to the location.

This morning, we spotted a beautiful new Banksy stencilled piece on a billboard in London. The Day 6 animal appears to be a fierce wild cat, possibly a Panther, clawing its way through the wooden billboard.

The piece is surrounded by a red border, while the scattered wooden pieces on the pavement convey a feeling of movement.

You can see daylight through the wood as the cat instinctively scratches through, although, on closer inspection, we can see the animal is restrained by a black chain around its neck.

The new Banksy piece sparks speculation regarding its meaning. Is it a statement on captivity and freedom? It’s always fascinating to see how Banksy’s work generates discussion and different interpretations. What are your thoughts on the meaning behind this piece?
The new mural was revealed this morning at Edgware Road, Cricklewood, NW London.
