LONDON - British street artist Banksy is thought to have given a Valentine's Day gift to his home town of Bristol in western England with the appearance of a new mural showing a small girl with a catapult and a splatter of red flowers.He often uses Instagram to claim ownership of his works but has yet to do so this time.The graffiti shows a young girl in a headscarf, stencilled onto the side of a house in the Barton Hill area of Bristol with black and white paint.
She holds a catapult in one hand with the other hand behind her, as though she has just launched a projectile. At the end of the catapult's trajectory, is a bright red shape like a blood splatter, made of red plastic leaves and flowers.Banksy's street art often draws attention to social issues by adding elements of darkness to otherwise joyful scenes.
In December, the elusive artist highlighted the issue of rough sleeping with a mural showing two flying reindeer pulling a homeless man on a street-bench sleigh, in the central English city of Birmingham.
