Banksy statue
Fig. 1 — Visual Archive: Banksy statue
A statue by Banksy was installed at Waterloo Place in London, in 2026. It depicts a man in a suit holding a large flag in front of himself as it blows back in his face, obscuring his vision, as he steps off the plinth on which he is standing. Commentators have noted the placement of the work near statues and monuments commemorating British imperialism such as that of Edward VII and the Crimean War Memorial.
