While the fashion week is taking place in Paris, the most elusive street artist ever lands there with a lot of controversy and criticism.
Banksy, without any announcements or confirmations, has created 6 new murals in different places of the French capital.
The first piece was found near the Porte de la Chapelle metro station, where until August 2017 there was “La Boule“, a center that housed 2,700 refugees.
With this in mind, Banksy has revisited “Go Flock Yourself“, one of his most famous mural, creating a new version that reflects the current French and European political situation.
A young black girl covers a swastika with Victorian wallpaper, a symbol of the way in which politicians try to hide political irregularities of a potentially fascist nature.

The second and third pieces, however, are intended to represent the way in which politicians blind people with false promises and misleading propaganda.
In the first, a man gives a dog the bone of his own leg, previously cut with the saw that hides behind his back; in the second, he reinterprets the iconic “Napoleon Crossing the Alps” by Jacques-Louis David, a symbol of French power, covering his face and making power blind as well.

The last three pieces introduce one of the elements for which Bristol’s street artist was inspired by the Parisian artist Blek Le Rat: rats.
All of them represent disorder and are, for Banksy, a metaphor for the ability of the working class people to subvert any economic or political situation.

6 murals that are a clear reflection of his opinion on the recent political choices that have involved also Italy.
