Another Banksy animal artwork is vandalised as Chelsea elephant is defaced with stripes – after the rhino was ruined and the wolf on a south London satellite dish disappeared within hours

Another of Banksy’s nine animal artworks on display in London in recent days has been vandalised, with one destroyed and the other missing.

The mural, which shows two elephants poking their heads out of a white window, was unveiled in Chelsea, London, a week ago but has already been vandalised with grey stripes.

The painting, located in Edith Grove, was the second of nine animal-themed artworks on display in the capital.

It comes after Banksy’s rhino mural in Charlton was also vandalised with spray paint on Monday, while the artist’s lone wolf mysteriously disappeared from a satellite dish in Peckham.

Resident Chiara Burrell, 20, today noticed the elephants had been damaged and said she was “angry” that someone had botched the work.

“When it was in its original state, I thought it was really cool. A few days later I went back and saw the white lines,” she said. “I’m shocked and angry that someone vandalized it, honestly.

‘I saw it from far away and as I got closer we saw a few people looking at it a bit strangely. I started to doubt if it had always been there.

“I think it’s vandalism, but I’m not sure.”

This comes just days after a silver Nissan Micra, which was part of Banksy’s new rhino painting, was removed, with the mural being damaged within seven hours of its unveiling.

The artwork depicted a rhinoceros sitting on a car with a traffic cone on the hood, but was ruined with a white spray can on Monday.

Shortly before that, Banksy’s fourth artwork of a lone wolf on a satellite dish mysteriously disappeared from its spot in Peckham last week.

Footage has emerged showing the shocking moment the artwork is dismantled and then taken away.

A group of men wearing hoods, face masks and gloves were spotted climbing the building, removing the satellite dish and running away.

A spokesperson for Banksy previously said the artist had nothing to do with the theft of the wolf artwork and did not condone the theft, and they also had “no knowledge of the current whereabouts of the law.”

Banky unveiled the ninth – and apparently final – mural of a gorilla at London Zoo on Tuesday, continuing the artist’s series of animal-themed paintings.

The third work to appear was a mural of three swinging monkeys in Brick Lane, London

Murals by the artist have appeared all over London in recent days, with a new artwork appearing every day from 5 to 13 August.

Banksy’s first work was a goat sitting on a wall, followed by silhouettes of elephants, monkeys, a wolf, pelicans and a cat, all of which have popped up in various locations around London.

The sixth artwork, a cat stretched out on a blank, weathered billboard, was removed from its location in northwest London hours after it was unveiled on Saturday.

The crowd booed as the artwork in Cricklewood was dismantled by three men who said they had been ‘hired’ by a ‘contracting company’ to remove the billboard for safety reasons.

The fifth artwork to be unveiled was at Bonners Fish Bar in Walthamstow, east London, and shows a pelican bending down to scoop up a fish from a takeaway sign, while another artwork tosses one into the air.
