Banksy’s piece on The House is very different from much of his work, it just captures a joyous moment, inspired by the location.
This intrigued us so we went deep on the research and think we have uncovered the idea that inspired the art, in an old Bansky quote from his book Walls & Piece
OUR THEORY
This is what we think may have happened.
THE TOWN
Banksy discovers that Great Yarmouth is applying for UK City of Culture and decides to help the town.
THE LOCATION
He spots the landmark Victorian gas cylinder on the horizon, that leads him to the house and the bus stop.
THE QUOTE
Either consciously or not, his old bus stop quote inspires the art.
“WHERE STANDING AT A BUS STOP WAS NEVER BORING”
BEING NEVER BORING
So now the art has a name - Never Boring - and a guidng vision for the project.
