His website has since depicted images of the works under the title “A Great British Spraycation”, a play on the word staycation. Government COVID-19 rules have deterred Britons from holidaying abroad, prompting many people to take a “staycation” at home.


Known for witty artworks that often make a point on world affairs, Banksy’s Spraycation mural series includes a scene of a couple dancing above a bus shelter, a rat sipping a cocktail in a deck chair, and one of a huge seagull.
