TL;DR Summary

A new Banksy mural in north London depicts a person spray painting tree foliage onto a wall behind a leafless tree, bringing a touch of greenery to the densely populated Islington North neighborhood. The artwork, confirmed by Banksy, features a denuded tree with bright green paint sprayed on the wall behind it, creating the illusion of foliage. The building's owner plans to keep the mural, and its integration with the tree may make it less susceptible to theft. This comes after a previous Banksy artwork was stolen in south London. The former Labour party leader, Jeremy Corbyn, expressed delight at the new mural, emphasizing the need for more greenery in the area.
