Is this a new Banksy? Reindeer with Christmas lights appears in London Fields two days after his last artwork

Banksy is thought to have reappeared for the second time in two days; this time with artwork featuring a reindeer decorated with Christmas lights.

The elusive street artist is believed to be behind the animal stencil that appeared on the wall of a disused tennis court changing rooms in London Fields, Hackney, overnight.

Her antlers are entangled with multicolored fairy lights hanging from a metal rod attached to the blue wall.

The artist has yet to confirm that the reindeer is his, but this piece is reminiscent of his style.

The work was revealed within 24 hours of two other children’s pieces confirmed to be Banksy’s work, in Bayswater and near the Center Point building in central London.

In the same footage, two children are seen lying on the ground wearing Wellington boots, coats and winter hats; one of them is looking towards the sky.

Experts say the Bayswater site was chosen to draw attention to child homelessness.

The artist announced his new work by sharing an image on his social media account on Monday afternoon.

The work appeared in Bayswater and near the Center Point building in central London, 24 hours after two other children’s works confirmed to be Banksy’s.

In September, a Banksy mural appeared outside the Royal Courts of Justice building showing a protester holding a bloody placard as the judge struck him with a gavel.

It was quickly covered up by authorities, with security guards patrolling in front of a screen concealing the artwork.

The work follows the arrest of nearly 900 people at a demonstration in support of the banned group Palestine Action in central London, in what is thought to be the UK’s largest mass arrest to date.

Banksy has a long history of releasing his works around Christmas.

For the past eight years, Banksy has made a habit of displaying works that offer social commentary in the run-up to Christmas.

The Santa Claus Ghetto project ran intermittently between 2002 and 2007 as a temporary, Christmas-only exhibition staged at impromptu locations around London, before culminating in Bethlehem.

The works included a depiction of Jesus Christ on the cross, holding shopping bags, and a painting of a young boy trying to catch snowflakes, which were ashes from a burning trash can.

Other murals in London include nine animal-themed paintings that were displayed in nine different locations across the capital in August last year.

His latest work depicts a gorilla lifting the shutters of London Zoo, freeing sea lions and birds, while other wildlife appear to peer out from within.

He arrived after templates of goats, elephants, monkeys, wolves, pelicans, cats, piranhas and rhinos were drawn all over the city.
