Anonymous graffiti artist Banksy has unveiled two new artworks in war-torn Ukraine.

Painted on a shelled building in Hostomel, north of Kyiv, one of the murals depicts what appears to be a woman wearing a dressing gown and a gas mask.

Her hair is wrapped in rollers, but her face is tilted upwards towards scorch marks rising from a blown out window.

Along Bucha and Irpin, Hostomel was one of the hardest-hit by bombardments areas as the Russian forces tried to encircle and take control of the capital.

A second graffiti – this time in the village of Gorenka, in the Bucha area, shows a bearded man scrubbing his back while taking a bath.

Painted on an internal wall of a blown apart building, the mural is easy to spot by passers-by.

Banksy is yet to confirm that he is behind the two new artworks in Ukraine like he did with another mural in Borodyanka last week.

But he told the Art Newspaper he has created seven murals in various locations in Ukraine, including the capital Kyiv.

Speculation had been mounting that the elusive artist has found a way into the country after a series of murals appeared in the town.

People in Ukraine documented the sightings, pointing out that the style of the artworks matches Banksy’s.

He later confirmed their suspicions when he posted a trio of images of the murals on Friday.

Footage shared on TikTok also claimed to show Banksy painting a girl gymnast performing a handstand on a small pile of concrete rubble.

The grainy video has a time stamp as if filmed on a CCTV camera but since it was shared on Monday, its legitimacy has already been questioned.

At least one other piece of new graffiti has appeared in Borodyanka, although not posted by the artist on Instagram.

It portrays a man – thought to be Vladimir Putin – being flipped in judo by a much smaller child.

Several curious onlookers came to see the artwork, some of whom had made the one-hour drive from the capital.

Visitor Alina Mazur said: ‘This is such a historic moment for our country, that people like Banksy and other famous figures are coming here and showing the world what Russia has done to us.’
