A new painting by the "guerilla artist" Banksy is currently the focus of a heated argument in the city of Bristol, England. The painting appeared overnight on a building. The leader of a nearby youth club, DennisStinchcombe, couldn't believe his luck when he saw it and discovered it was a Banksy that could be worth up to $150,000. He prised it off the wall using a crowbar and stored it in the youth club. However, the city mayor said Mr Stinchcombe had no right to take the painting as it was on the wall of a city-owned building. The mayor wants the painting put back. Stinchcombe said it would be vandalised and hopes to auction itto raise money for the youth club. He has since received death threats from angry Banksy fans.
The painting has been called "Mobile Lovers". It depicts a man and woman embracing while checking out their mobile phones over one another's shoulder. Art by Banksy is much sought after the world over. The mysterious artist, who is only known by the pseudonym Banksy, has become famous for paintings left on walls and buildings around the world. Many have been removed by building owners and caused similar spats. Wikipedia says Banksy's work combines, "dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique." Banksy's work is heavy on political and social commentary. The city mayor said it was "against the spirit of Banksy and street art" to remove it from where the artist put it.

涂鸦艺术家班克西的新画作成为了英格兰布里斯托尔的热议话题。这一画作一夜之间出现在了一栋建筑之上。旁边青年俱乐部的经理丹尼斯·汀康比不敢相信他会如此幸运，班克西的这幅画作可能会价值15万美金。他用撬棍将墙体撬下来，并保存在了青年俱乐部中。但是，布里斯托尔市市长认为汀康比没有权利将画作取走，因为墙体是城市建筑。市长希望将画作放回原处。汀康比认为这将会造成破坏，他希望能够把这幅画作拍卖出去，为青年俱乐部筹钱。自此之后，他还收到了班克西粉丝的死亡威胁。
这幅画作叫作“移动的恋人”。这幅画展现的是一对情侣相拥在一起，并在彼此的肩头查看手机。班克西的著作在全世界受到热捧。他是位神秘的艺术家，我们只知道他的匿名叫作班克西，他也因在建筑上留下画作而出名。许多建筑拥有者将画作移除，这也引起了相似的指责。维基百科认为班克西的作品把黑色幽默和涂鸦相结合，并运用镂花涂装技术表现出来。班克西的作品大多数是关于政治和社会评论。城市市长认为将艺术家的画作拆除是对班克西以及街头艺术的对抗。
