Скачать или смотреть Arsenal street artist Northbanksy on Eze mural vandalism and cheating death 🔥⚡

Arsenal fan and street artist ‘Northbanksy’, who shot to viral fame last week after his Eberechi Eze mural was defaced by angry Tottenham fans, has said he wants his work to be an “antidote” to the world of “online football fandom.”

A season ticket holder and fan of the north London club since 1989, the artist who operates by night spends his days working as an award-winning investigative documentary producer and journalist.

He started to fill the streets of north London with Arsenal graffiti as a hobby to distract him from traumatic trips to cover stories in Afghanistan, Libya and Ukraine.

In 2018 he was almost killed in Malawi during an undercover investigation for the BBC about witch doctors murdering people to use their body parts in rituals and sucking blood from children to fill get-rich amulets.

He was turned upon by local villagers who mistook him and his TV crew for the suspected killers, calling them “vampires”, slashing them with machetes and stoning them as they fled to safety.

He has also encountered difficulties back home, having been arrested twice when his artwork was more in protest than celebration of the English Premier League club.

In late 2019 he was detained after daubing the message “KROENKE OUT”, against the club’s American owners, on a wall near the Emirates Stadium.

He then got questioned in 2020 for spray-painting portraits of former Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka on the stadium wall of arch-rivals, Tottenham Hotspur.

In both cases the charges were dropped but it triggered a change to a more positive style, with bigger murals - inspired by legendary street artist Bansky - first appearing in the Hornsey Road tunnel next to the Emirates Stadium in April last year.

Despite technically being illegal the local council and club have allowed the unofficial project to blossom over the last eighteen months.

There are now around 30 works in the “Northbanksy Tunnel” honouring everyone from manager Mikel Arteta and set piece coach Nicolas Jover, to celebrated fans, Arsenal women’s players and club icons such as Thierry Henry and Ian Wright.

The nickname “Northbanksy”, given to him by his friends, is hybrid of Banksy and the North Bank, the area at Arsenal’s old Highbury Stadium where some of the club’s most passionate fans used to stand.

And players who grace the current stadium, such as Declan Rice and Myles Lewis-Skelley, have recently requested framed prints of their portraits with Northbanksy’s social media following doubling since last week’s Eze mural made world news.
