A mural art piece which appeared on a wall in Kent has been confirmed as the work of renowned graffiti artist Banksy.

Located off Grosvenor Place in Margate, the piece is titled ‘Valentine’s Day mascara’.

In a series of photographs posted to his Instagram account, the elusive artist confirmed the work was his.

The graffiti depicts a woman with a missing tooth and swollen eye shoving a man, presumably her partner, inside a freezer.

The artwork also features a broken white chair, a blue crate and an empty beer bottle.

The Valentine’s Day post appears to reference the ongoing fight and injustice women face against violence.

Banksy also announced in December he had created 50 screenprints which would be sold to raise funds for people in Ukraine.

The artist confirmed he had spent time in the country after posting a video of himself spray-painting designs and speaking to locals.

It is not the first time Banksy has selected a seaside location in the UK for his artwork.

In the summer of 2021, various pieces by the artist popped up around Lowestoft, Suffolk and various locations across Norfolk.

But there was controversy at the time because a building owner removed an entire section of a shop wall that once displayed an original Banksy artwork in Lowestoft.

The move was done so that the artwork could be sold and was slammed by locals who said it was ‘greedy’ and ‘disrespectful’.

The artist also created a mural in Folkestone in 2014.
