Banksy has unveiled a new artwork on the side of a building in south-west London.

The elusive artist’s signature stencil-styled piece, which appears to show a mountain goat perched on a ledge as rocks fall, has been painted on a wall in Kew Green, Richmond.

He posted a picture of the artwork on his Instagram on Monday, which is how he has previously claimed responsibility for his works.

The piece also featured a real life CCTV camera which was pointed at the goat, but this has since been moved to its original position, PA reports.

The new artwork is attracting attention from onlookers

Banksy did not caption the artwork on his Instagram post leaving many to interpret it their own way.

Local resident Malcolm Taylor called the new artwork “fantastic”.

“I think it’s incredible – we hope it stays here,” he told BBC London.

Pauline Taylor said her grandchildren “will be wowed by it”.

“Our allotments are just down there, so everybody puts it on the website, ‘oh my God we’ve got a Banksy’. In Kew, can you believe it?” she said.

“Thank you, Banksy,” Ms Taylor added.

The artist, whose identity is unknown, last painted in the capital in Finsbury Park when he sprayed green paint on a wall behind a cut-back tree to look like foliage, with a stencil of a person holding a sprayer next to it.
