New Banksy artwork pays tribute to NHS Heroes
It features a nurse, wearing a cape, face mask and a white apron
A new artwork painted by Banksy during lockdown has gone on display in a hospital corridor.
The piece, entitled Game Changer, is now on view to staff and patients on Level C of Southampton General Hospital.
It shows a boy dressed in dungarees playing with a nurse superhero toy, with figures of Batman and Spiderman in a waste paper basket on the floor.
The nurse, wearing a cape, face mask and a white apron featuring a red cross, has her arm raised as if she is flying.
Banksy left a note for hospital workers, saying: "Thanks for all you're doing. I hope this brightens the place up a bit, even if its only black and white."
After lockdown measures are lifted, the piece - which is approximately one metre high and one metre wide - will be put on public display.
It will then be auctioned to raise money for NHS charities, a spokeswoman for Banksy confirmed.
