Banksy has revealed his latest piece of street art in London, featuring two elephants appearing to emerge from windows on a building. The elusive Bristol-based artist posted an image displaying the new creation on Instagram today (Tuesday, August 6).

It showcases silhouettes of two elephants with their trunks reaching out towards one another. The artwork is nestled in the south-west of London, close to the posh neighbourhood of Chelsea, adorning what looks like the side of a residential building.

This reveal follows closely after Banksy's goat-themed piece by Kew Bridge in Richmond was made public on Monday. The piece displays a goat perched precariously atop a wall ledge, with rubble set beneath and a watchful CCTV camera pointed directly at it.

With no explanations provided for either of the Instagram posts, fans have been left to ponder over the possible messages behind the pieces. These latest installations come in the wake of Banksy's migrant boat display, which saw action at Glastonbury this past June.

During sets from Bristol's own Idles and rapper Little Simz, the piece was carried aloft by the crowd. It depicted a small boat filled with dummy migrants in orange life jackets and was later shared by the artist on his Instagram page.

Former Home Secretary James Cleverly criticized the installation as making light of migrants perilous sea crossings, branding it "vile". However, Banksy retorted that such criticism was "a bit over the top".

The street artist counter-argued, calling the detainment by Italian authorities of a real rescue boat he sponsored which had saved unaccompanied children at seaas the true "vile and unacceptable" act.

Back in March, another of Banksy's creations appeared in North London: a clever illusion of a tree created using strategic paintwork to mirror lost foliage.

A stencil of a figure wielding a pressure hose was also etched onto the building, with the vibrant paint colour mirroring that used by Islington Council for local street signs.
