Banksy Gillett Square Dalston Bboy Mat

Banksy – boy with dance mat, Gillett Square, Dalston

Banksy Boy with dance mat in Gillett Square, off the Kingsland Road in Dalston.

There’s a lot going on in this image by Banksy of a boy in Gillett Square, Dalston. The ghetto blaster brilliantly incorporates the air vent in the wall as its speaker and a tiled mat is stencilled onto the floor. The boy wears ornaments of both a gun and a teddy bear at the same time. He stares out at onlookers in one of London’s most recently created town squares.

STATUS: Completely gone.
