Banksy posted a photo of the mural — a female gymnast performing a handstand on a small pile of concrete rubble — on Instagram late Friday. The work was painted on the wall of a building destroyed by bombing. At least one more new graffiti in Banksy’s signature style, although not posted by the artist on social media, was spotted in Borodyanka, depicting a man being flipped in judo by a much younger child. The symbolism of this piece is believed to be an allusion to the biblical story of David and Goliath, the unlikely triumph of the underdog, as well as a nod to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s much-publicized love of the Japanese martial art.
