This weekend, a south London tunnel has been turned into a giant exhibition space by phantom graffiti artist Banksy.
Graffiti impresario Banksy and airbrush-wielding guerrilla artists blanketed the walls of an abandoned London tunnel with offbeat murals as part of a three-day stencil-art street party this weekend.
Banksy marshaled more than three dozen international artists for what he’s calling the “Cans Festival” — and is encouraging visitors to contribute their own graffiti starting Saturday.
“I’m hoping we can transform a dark forgotten filth pit into an oasis of beautiful art — in a dark forgotten filth pit,” Banksy was quoted as saying in the Times of London, which carried a preview of the exhibition Friday.
Murals in the Bristol artist's famous stencil style appear with work by 29 other artists in a half-mile stretch of the tunnel in Leake Street, Waterloo.
