When Britain’s Banksy ‘faceless painter’ paints a mural on the outside wall of the house, the house price of 400 million won is expected to rise to 7.2 billion won.
Suddenly, the money hit the homeowner and he canceled his plan to sell the house.
According to the German news agency dpa, on the 11th (local time), Banksy recently posted three wall photos titled ‘Achoo !!’ on his Instagram.
The mural exaggerates the sneezing of an old woman with a headscarf.
It is a scene in which the dentures in Grandma’s mouth are torn off by the impact of sneezing, and the bag and the cane in her hand fall to the ground.
The mural was painted on the exterior wall of a building at the entrance to a residential neighborhood in the city of Bristol, in the west of England.
The house is on an uphill road with a slope of 22 degrees.
Banksy used the town’s slope to portray Grandma’s sneeze on the mural as if she was knocking over the trash can next door and knocking people over.
When it became known that the mural was the work of Banksy and the price of the house was expected to rise, the owner suddenly canceled the sale of the house.
In addition, a transparent protective film was installed to prevent the murals from being damaged when people flocked to see them.
Nicholas Markin, the owner’s son, appeared on ITV in the UK and said: “We canceled the sale one week before the sale.”
Before the mural was painted, the median sale price of a house in the village was 300,000 pounds (430 million won).
The UK’s Daily Mail cited a comment from an art expert, saying the murals are estimated to be worth £ 5 million (7.2 billion won).
Banksy, known in the UK, is famous for his unconventional actions, such as leaving graffiti (street art such as graffiti) and satirical paintings containing messages of social criticism on the streets and walls of cities around the world, and hung in secret his works in famous art museums. be be.
