Thank you. It's perfect.

"A proper councilworthy piece, if I do say so myself." - the council, probably

[removed]

It doesn't look ruined to me, it looks like the housewife managed to paint out her husband.

“Ah but where’s the tea?” -the council

I was literally in the middle of writing a comment about tea when you posted this comment. 👀

I’m between copies of photoshop at the moment so enjoy my iPhone Markup Battle entry

to be fair, the freezer was some garbage on the street so it was going to get thrown out sooner or later. I don't get the big deal behind Banksy anyway. It's cool art, but at the end of the day it's just art and nothing else. something to look at that's supposed to say something about society.

See ya later alligator

I agree with you in principle, but it seems that this thing had been there for months, and then the moment Banksy painted around it, they removed it.

So this is actually an interesting commentary, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was deliberate - the story isn't "Banksy painted a thing around garbage" and no one gives a shit, it's "CITY COUNCIL IGNORES PROBLEM AND THEN SUDDENLY THROWS OUT ART ZOMG!!!"

It was almost certainly Banksy's intention to point out the freezer. If nothing happens, then there's art. If it gets thrown out, then it's a different kind of art. That's really on brand for him. Of anything, this is more of a Banksy now than when he originally painted it.

She killed Vergil?!

This piece, called crocodile tears, is a social commentary on the filthiness of corporate culture being eradicated by strong working class citizens - asking price £35m

You have no authority here - J̶a̶c̶k̶i̶e̶ ̶W̶e̶a̶v̶e̶r̶'̶s̶ Banksy's arch nemesis

Modern art is 99% story. Banksy doesn't create art, he created a mysterious persona that puts random graffiti on places with a bit of social commentary and manages to keep his identity a secret. Rich people don't just want something that looks nice, they want the story behind the piece so that can talk/brag about it to their rich friends.

[deleted]

Apparently the council took it away to 'make it safe', then they're going to put it back!

I guess Thanet Council have their own Banksy now...

[removed]

[removed]

Again, I think it's all staged - Banksy probably had people report it as unsafe or recruited a city worker, outrage ensues, and now it's going to be put back and the art will be displayed in all its glory.

It’s Banksy, it doesn’t need outrage.

I don't know about you, but I've heard of 2 Banksy pieces in the last few years - the one that was shredded and this one.

A random piece painted on a building doesn't make headlines. This did, even if briefly.

kamehamehaaaaaaaa

Edit - Fixed link for rules

Reminds me of the guy in Manchester who drew penises around potholes so they would get fixed faster.

He called himself “wanksy”.

You know Margate well. This is the best.

>If it gets thrown out, then it's a different kind of art.

This is the bit so many people miss. A creator like Banksy 100% puts their art in these situations purposefully. It can't be "ruined" or "broken". The story is the art.

"If you've never worked a single day in your life besides getting fired from a fast food restaurant for spitting on your very first burger, then congratulations you've contributed more to society than an art critic." - Daniel Sloss (paraphrased)

This comment chain will be worth 50mil in 2 years, obviously framed as intended.

This is great. It fits right in!

Overrated stencil trash. People act like his "art" is some sacred thing that should never perish.

A woman's work is never done

God damn 👍

Banksy on the beach

If modern art is 99% story and Banksey's paintings/sculptures sell because 99% of what is interesting about them is their story, how is it that Banksey does not create art?

Artwork has been used to draw attention to unsafe things for a long time. He probably painted it and it just made it more obvious and shameful for the city council to ignore. Like how this guy (nicknamed Wanksy) got pot holes fixed by painting dicks on them.

Dang, you beat me to it. That's exactly who I thought of too.

[removed]

Oh, I see that the child is Russian.

Lmao this is great

Looks like Joe from Impractical Jokers

My God you people are wizards.

I can tell you that is not the case. But I'm sure my acquaintance who works for TDC will get a giggle from this theory.

Low effort but very council friendly.

[removed]

I was hoping someone was going to redo Fargo and swap the woman around and put the feet in a wood chipper, but this'll work just fine.

Ode to Jeremy Renner

Honestly I like this, I feel like with Banksy as famous as he is it kind of ruins the point of his art when cities realize they have a Banksy and bend over backwards to preserve it and kiss his ass. Not giving a shit and "ruining" the art by throwing away the fridge almost seems more anti authoritarian and pro his message at this point.

[removed]

Idk why all the downvotes. I was thinking the same thing. I actually didn’t realize it was “ruined” at first. I thought it was an image of a woman scrubbing a wall clean of the graffiti that made up her husband. If I owned photoshop, I would add a Mr. Clean magic eraser to her hand

[removed]

[removed]

"Ruined? Can't you SEE?? Taking out the fridge means after the girl hides the body, she masterfully disposed of it without lifting a finger! But the remaining legs signify that there are no perfect crimes. 18 MILLION DOLLARS STARTING BID!"

-auctioneers probably

It’s a Valentine’s Day related piece.

This is beyond incredible.

[removed]

[removed]

Hahahahaha "Wanksy"

I'd heard of the action before but the name absolutely tickles me

[removed]

God-Tier.

That's your theory huh?

An eli5 now that this is fixed would be nice. Y’know, for the r/outoftheloop folks and what not.

[removed]

All of his recent works have been headlines on all the UK apps. So yeah, random building painting does - if you're Banksy.

He also recently did pieces in Ukraine that got a ton of international coverage. He definitely doesn't need anything for publicity.

What is this chicanery?

Happy ending

[removed]

Banksy, is that you?? Ha, ha! I joke.

The context is in the title, right?

I think it’s just supposed to be a woman dumping a guys dead body in a freezer

Thought there might be an underlying explanation for who she represents/is and same for him? Political or social statement, etc

It's art bro, who does it represent to you?

[removed]

[removed]

Holy shit juggernog

[removed]

This is my favorite.

I like this potentially realistic solution.

I'm assuming the fridge (that the title says was there previously) is now photoshopped(stock model of some kind) in with the backside of the fridge (that grid is all the coolant tubes or something, most fridges have them on the back but others on the bottom) facing outwards to give a more 'accurate' appearance of the dead feet coming out of the freezer

*Edit to add: 'who' she is; the perfect image of the "long-suffering" home-maid house wife in kitchen uniform, or etc from days past. Msg ig: 'she cleans up' even a body lol

The woman has signs of abuse in her face. Could be her dumping an abusive husband. That's what I get at least.

Lol this one is hilarious. The low effort makes it better.

Bioshock my duuuude

To me, the work explores the relationship between the tyranny of ageing and emotional memories. With influences as diverse as Kierkegaard and Frida Kahlo, new synergies are manufactured from both constructed and discovered dialogues.

[removed]

[removed]

[removed]

Yeah I get what they are saying but Banksey defiantly creates art since the story is the art.

Also a great way to get junk removed.

If you flipped this horizontally it would line up with the wall better?

I mean I love the art but the point of it in this case was to either get the junk removed or to make a joke at the expense of the city for not removing it

The photoshop is the fridge and chair that were in the piece before being removed. Was photograped from a different angle of course.

This is my favorite one

What beautiful bs. 👏

Taj Mahal

Well put. I totally agree. And definitely not because I don't understand what you said want to seem smart too!

We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us.

Where are the legs?

I read the council may actually be returning the fridge… after “making it safe”

Haha, that's really good!

Gonna wash that man right outta... that wall?!

Just warming up by the fire.

She’s dressed like a 1950s housewife metaphorically ‘cleaning up’ and getting rid of the man, it represents the women’s rights movement and is mocking the archaic family dynamics of the past.

With an eye swollen shut, a bruised cheek and a missing tooth.

That also supports the message yeah

It reminds me of turtles for some reason. Turtles are pretty rad

Lmao this is great!!!!

On Valentine's Day no less

I have the Troy built version of this snow blower

I only glanced at the first time that I saw it, didn't even notice that, thanks for pointing it out.

He will be mist.

The council plan to replace the freezer when it's made safe. Who's going to report them for fly tipping?

Social statement about violence against women. You can see she has a swollen eye and missing teeth. And given the clothing is very 1950s, there were not many options for battered women back then.

Now we need a Shoop Da Whoop

Would you kindly vote for this one?

[removed]

If you look through dystopika's history you'll see they always do animated stuff. They are one of my favorites in this subreddit.

[removed]

Was this to restore it to how it looked before? If so, it's missing the empty beer crate. Feel like it was an important part of the story. If not, please totally ignore this comment.

they fell off the building

Wow, that's a meme I haven't seen in a long time

If a whoop could be shooped, would it be:

A, like this

or

B, Like this

Hahaha, I like A. Part of me thought B would be her getting shot by the legs.
