Street artist Andrea Villa, the 'Turin Banksy', dedicates his latest work to Queen Elizabeth.
'God take the Queen' is the title of the new posters, posted in Corso San Maurizio, in the center of Turin, which represent the unmistakable silhouette of the English sovereign in her clouds, also used in place of her face.
"Inspired by the paintings of the painter Antonio Carena - explains Villa -, I wanted to celebrate the death of an undisputed icon of the twentieth century. Whether you talk about it badly or well - he adds -, you can see that a historical period has ended with her forever. and that the world will never be the same again. How will the characters who represent the new century be? - asks the artist - What mass media will generate the new iconic characters of the future? Will King Charles III succeed - he concludes - be as iconic as his mother? ".
