Balloon Girl is a stencil graffiti done by the mysterious street artist Banksy. The young girl losing her red balloon means different things to different people. It’s an image of innocence and loss and was used in a 2014 campaign supporting Syrian refugees. A 2017 poll ranked Balloon Girl as the UK’s favourite artwork. In 2015 the mural was removed from an east London shop and sold for half a million pounds. Banksy’s anonymity has added to his mystique and his distinctive stencilling style has been adopted by many. The acceptance of his work as fine art has done a lot for street art and has played an important role in street artists becoming accepted as mainstream artists ♥ More art, more art, more art…
