Banksy (in the UK)
This piece was created by Banksy in the town of Cheltenham showing three government secret agents spying on the conversations taking place through this phone booth. With the recent privacy issues that came up, it’s no coincidence this piece was created in Cheltenham, home of the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters).
iHeart (in Canada)
In a world of social media, this funny yet striking piece of art depicts how the modern boy bewails the fact that no one ‘likes’ him. You can probably feel the pain he’s going through with his Instagram problems. Created by Canadian artist iHeart for his project, A Sign Of The Times.
Bikismo (in Miami)
This metallic mural is both stunning and mind-boggling. Created by artist Bikismo, 4 days were spent creating this piece entirely using spray paint.
