Graffiti artist Banksy pulls off most audacious stunt to date - despite being watched by CCTV

Last updated at 14:52pm on 14th April 2008
Banksy pulled off an audacious stunt to produce what is believed to be his biggest work yet in central London.

The secretive graffiti artist managed to erect three storeys of scaffolding behind a security fence despite being watched by a CCTV camera.
Then, during darkness and hidden behind a sheet of polythene, he painted this comment on 'Big Brother' society.

Yesterday the scaffolding gang returned to remove all evidence - again without the camera operator stopping them.
The work, above a Post Office yard in Newman Street near Oxford Circus, shows a small boy, watched by a security guard, painting the words: 'One nation under CCTV.'
Andrew Newman, 35, a businessman from Dulwich, who works locally, said: 'It was only on Sunday morning that the Post Offices guys realised what had happened.'

Banksy is definitely one of my heroes.

Damn he's good. I can't believe they pulled that off, between a street and a camera, no less.

I've got his painting of Charon as my wallpaper right now.

That tiny pic sucks, but I'm too lazy to sign up for phyrefile.

Banksy's awesome.

My little sister is into graphic design and everything and thinks he is the bomb, she loves his stuff.

I was looking at the first pic and thought it was a picture of him painting it.

Damn, he is fantastic.
