A controversial Banksy tribute has been created by an artist on a beach.
Fred Brown has paid homage to the anonymous street artist by recreating his most recent piece on the sand.
Banksy’s latest artwork depicted a protester on the ground holding a blood-spattered placard.
A judge, dressed in a wig and gown, stood over him while wielding a gavel.
Fred recreated the scene on the beach in Scarborough, North Yorks.
Banksy’s piece appeared on the walls of the Royal Courts of Justice in London.
Security staff covered up the painting before HM Courts and Tribunals Service made the decision to remove it.
This was due to the building being listed and therefore legally protected, it is understood
Fred completed his piece last Thursday (18 Sept), as reported by Need To Know.
Fred said: “Scarborough beach got some Banksy inspired sand art.”
Members of the public were left in awe by the piece.
Michael Bredesen said: “Now that’s what I call an ‘art attack’.”
Bryan Stubbs added: “Absolutely fantastic.”
Sam Jordan said: “How people do this will never not be impressive.”
One added: “You’re better than Banksy, no stencil there.”
Another said: “Are you sure you’re not Banksy, brilliant.”
