Banksy confirms piranhas are his seventh animal artwork in London
The shoal of fish on a police box follows works depicting a goat, elephants, monkeys, a wolf, pelicans and a cat
A central London glass police box has been made to look like a tank of piranhas, in the seventh in series of works by the graffiti artist Banksy.
The elusive artist claimed the work as his own by featuring it on his Instagram account in a post at 1pm on Sunday.
The fish depicted on the police box are different in style from the previous six silhouetted designs that Banksy has claimed as his work on successive days over the past week.
As someone interviewed on TV asked; Are these more adverts rather than artworks?

5A usual city is consist from building, machines and people. They all seems to be a part of the bigger lifeless structure or mechanism. But Banksy's animals are dynamic and out of place. They looks like the only living beings in the city. Or rather they hint how it could be, because they are all just pictures and there is no place for real animals. But we often could see something like this in movies, so Banksy's animals touch this theme.
People try to find author's meaning in each graffiti, but fail to see the whole thing, IMO.
