The Banksy House is home to the best-preserved Banksy art on the streets.
the last untouched piece from HIS definitive series, The Great British Spraycation.
And we have plans for it…
Just to avoid any confusion, while the art on the Banksy House is officially verified by Banksy as being his work, The Banksy House Project is not an official BANKSY™ endorsed endeavour.
Once Upon a Time, there was a walL…
on an old house… next to a bus stoP… opposite a disused Victorian gasworks… on the edge of an industrial estate… IN an old seaside town on the furthest Eastern tip of England.
one day, Banksy decided to go on holiday there.
and get busy.
“ Bus stops are far more interesting and useful places to have art than in museums. ”

THE STORY
Banksy’s Great British Spraycation and the fate of the art he left behind.
In the Summer of ‘21, as the good citizens of the UK were released from their second COVID lockdown, Banksy dropped 10 pieces around the East of England coast, as part of his Great British Spraycation series.
Then, predictably, the brick-cutter-wielding art establishment, taggers and The not so Great British weather got involved. And nearly won their battle of annihilation.
But they didn’t. One piece escaped.
AND ITS STaYING WHERE IT BELONGS.
on the wall.
WTF WOULD YOU DO?
THE PLAN
So WTF Would You Do if Banksy left a memento on the side of your house? Cut the wall out and sell it to a Dubai hedge fund? Try to forget about it?
Or keep it on the wall and try to figure out something meaningful to do with it?
That’s our plan.
NEVER BORING
Banksy’s encoded message.
The piece on The House stands out from most of Banksy’s work. It’s not political, satirical or subversive. It just dumps a moment of faded elegance against the grimy surroundings of the gasworks and old fish warehouses, and lets you make your own mind up.
So what’s the story. Why this piece? Why this wall?
We discovered and old Banksy quote that lead us down a rabbit hole.
