LONDON - A young boy chooses a nurse as the superhero he wants to play with over Batman and Spiderman in a new artwork by Banksy that encapsulates the gratitude Britons have felt toward the country’s National Health Service during the coronavirus crisis.
The painting by the secretive street artist was unveiled at University Hospital Southampton, in south England, on Wednesday.Hospital chief executive Paula Head said: “So proud to reveal this amazing piece of art ‘Painting for Saints’, created by #Banksy as a thank you to all those who work with and for the NHS and our hospital.”It is not the first Banksy work inspired by COVID-19.
His existing “Girl with a Pierced Eardrum” mural was also updated with the addition of a blue surgical mask, although the update was not confirmed to be his work on Instagram. The new painting will be on display at the hospital until after the lockdown and it will then be auctioned for NHS charities, according to the BBC.
Thank you RealBanksy!
Omg
Did it come with insurance coverage and security? Hope you can actually keep it on display. I do love it though, that it's a boy dreaming of being a nurse, that the nurse is flying, lesser heroes in the dustpin, bravo
Nice tribute to nurses.
Luckily he caught that bandwagon to jump onto. Don't panic if you missed it, there'll be another one along shortly.
They should put it under guard before someone snatches it.
So stunning and brave
Please!!
DKCanada Love this
A young man would choose a nurse to play with too ove....oh, never mind.
Why a female not a male ?!
Definite morale boost for all the medical professionals working there. Thanks Banksy.
Bansky the propagandist.
its rubbish
Nurses ARE Superheroes 💕
Promoting gender dysphoria and bull shit at the same time! Right on!
So Banksy is just a middle-aged suburban white guy after all, huh. Next.
Is a profound idea.
No way a real banksy 😲 love Banksy's work
So even Banksy is a sellout now.
Like Great messages and picture and video yes
Editorial cartoon ass painting
If 'we' really 💟 our NHS DontJustClap Demand full PPE & testing .... ClapForOurCarers NHS PPE
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
SquawkCNBC Well, the president said they have been stealing the PPE.... digest that
Banksy goes for the cheese. He shoots, he scores. How the mighty have fallen.
英国是一个有趣的地方，住在唐宁街10号的人一边让老百姓不要囤粮一边自己弄了好几卡车东西回去囤着，之前歧视护士，政府无良的不给医护人员提供足够的防护物资让医护人员暴露在病毒面前，这会又把护士当成超级英雄，敢情这英国的医护人员真的就是个玩具啊……用到了当个宝，用不到就不管不顾，真可笑啊
SquawkCNBC Banksy marginalizing superhero minorities. As if workplace harassment wasn't enough, now Peter Parker has to deal with this bullshit!
So cool. 🙏
Wow... tht is a stunning piece of art...

Your daily reminder that media institutions will attack the exposure of corruption more aggressively than corruption itself. They’ll only report news fairly when backed into a corner and left with no choice. We’re talking about journalists, here. World ain’t what it seems.
Practically they are the superheroes always sovii_shakya
Pretty tired of hero stuff. Could nurse/doctor perform duties without cleaning staff, manufacturers of food, PPE, EMT, warehouse workers, etc? And could any of them do job without God? The world always looks for ways to overlook MAIN contribution, for without Him, NOTHING exists!
Fuck this ugh
'An image of the work was also posted on Banksy's Instagram page with the caption 'Game Changer' 👍👍👍👍
Wow!!!
Beautiful! But please protect it so it’s not stolen
Big deal I have a crayon
Foreign nurses don't count?
nabeteru1Q78 翼があるので、ヒーロー参上、ってか。（訪問看護…）
Thought it would have been the public for staying indoors... oh wait! 🤦🏻♂️
BlameCanucks O So she’s a nurse with a British accent! Cool so she’s a nurse
