Re: "Season's Greetings," a work of art by Banksy is set to be removed to Suffolk in England from its Port Talbot town centre home, Wales, UK.
The mural shows a child dressed for the winter, with his arms outstretched and his tongue sticking out, appearing to catch snowflakes on one wall - but on the other side of the wall, it's clear that the apparent snowflakes are actually flakes from ash and smoke from a fire in a skip.
It first appeared on the wall of Port Talbot steelworker Ian Lewis' garage days before Christmas, 2018, and soon became a tourist hotspot, drawing crowds from across the UK.
It was purchased by collector John Brandler. « less
