The image shows a black and white lighthouse with the words "I want to be what you see in me" inscribed across it.
Another picture depicts two elderly people walking their dogs.
Lights appear beaming out of the tower, which has been painted to sit directly opposite a pavement bollard.
Online sleuths have suggested the mural may be located in Marseille, France but this has yet to be confirmed.
The cryptic message first originated in the song Softly by the American country group Lonestar, though no link with Banky's work has been established.
His new work follows a series of pieces which have cropped up across the UK.
Just last year, a teacher who lives in Acton, London shared her delight over spotting one of the artist's pieces of work in her area.
The image of a goat perched precariously on a wall left many fans speculating over its meaning.
"I think it's to do with the environment - and how we've ruined it to the point that animals don't know where to go anymore.
"It's also worth noting that that security camera wasn't facing that way before. Banksy has turned it towards the goat.
"It's like it's wanting its attention."

Elsewhere, a couple with a home in Lowestoft, Suffolk were left fuming when they received a call to say one of the wall's of their house was now plastered with a Banksy.
It was the largest work ever done by the famous yet anonymous street artist.
In the foreground he had placed a real skip which had strips of insulation in it that resembled chips.
The piece, which appeared in August 2021, attracted worldwide attention with hundreds of people flocking to the site, some putting their young children in the skip that the gull was dive-bombing, to take photographs.
With talk of the art work being worth £3million, the stunned couple wondered what to do next.
But instead of making them a fortune, the street art caused them years of anguish and left them seriously out of pocket.
It eventually cost them in excess of £400,000 to have it removed and put in storage and they continue to fork out £3,000 a month to keep it there in the hope of eventually finding a buyer.
'It's not a seagull, it's an albatross!' says an angry Gert.
'At first you think you are gifted by Banksy but you are actually not.'

Rhian Sugden undergoes 'life-changing' surgery as boobs left her in complete agony
Former Page 3 model Rhian Sugden spent £10,000 on breast reduction surgery to ease the constant pain caused by her "extra large" boobs, but some of her fans and her husband were left "gutted" Former Page 3 girl Rhian Sugden has admitted her "extra large" boobs left her in "agony" after having her son, with her nipples left 11cm too low. The Celebrity Big Brother star said that "gravity took its toll" on her body, forcing her to get a breast reduction. The model, 38, explained to her 492,000 Instagram followers how her breasts had impacted her life in a video. She started: "So, being an ex-Page 3 model, I'm no stranger to getting my boobs out, so I've always been conscious about what they look like and growing up, I think I've had quite a good set of boobs. "But since having a baby gravity has obviously taken its toll and my nipples are 11cm lower than they should be." She admitted her nipples left her feeling a "bit paranoid" and was keen to get her breasts "a bit smaller, perkier, uplifted," to improve her quality of life. It comes after one TV star admitted she sleeps in separate bed to partner as she fumes over pregnancy.

Bikinis, I can't even find one to get into because my frame is so small and my boobs are so big so it's quite difficult. "My back ache, honestly I must have to get a massage like once a week to try and ease the pain and tension in my back." She also found she was missing out on hobbies because of her body. Rhian explained: "I swim a hell of a lot and I think because my boobs are so big, when I swim my back arches up because they push out the water. So even swimming is difficult for me at the moment, not to mention not being able to get into a swimsuit." The surgery was a beacon of hope for Rhian, who was left with deep grooves in her shoulders daily from her bra straps. She added: "Having this reduction is literally going to change my life." Rhian captioned the Instagram post: "A little bit about why I decided to have my breast reduction! This is before, clearly. Those banjongas." Even walking was difficult, her posture was affected and she was living on painkillers, so she decided surgery was the only answer. She forked out more than £10,000 to have the op at Newton-le-Willows clinic Pall Mall Cosmetics. But despite Rhian feeling like a new woman since her surgery, she has admitted her husband, Corrie's Oliver Mellor, wasn't fully on board to begin with. Speaking to the Sun, she said: "Oliver was gutted at first – he's always loved my boobs. But he understands and I think he'll be happy for me to stop moaning about my back ache, to be honest." She's also had mixed feedback from her fans, with one demanding a "refund" as he had bought her content online. OnlyFans creator Rhian explained: "He was saying I'm making the worst mistake of my life – how dare I remove the boobs." Rhian admitted that although she's had the reduction for health and cosmetic reasons, she has found it "difficult" to process other people having an opinion on her body. "It's going to be a relief," she said after her surgery.

Karren Brady looks completely unrecognisable after cosmetic tweakment
The Apprentice aide Baroness Karren Brady shared a photo of herself on social media recently, which attracted attention, with her having promoted a procedure in the same post this week Fans said that they didn't recognise Baroness Karren Brady in a photo shared by the Apprentice aide this week. It comes after the business executive announced that she would be making a change to her wardrobe after undergoing a procedure. Karren, 56, who is also the vice chair of West Ham United F.C., shared a photo of herself modelling a sleeveless white dress on Instagram yesterday. She suggested in the post that it had been taken after having her skin tightened. The post has amassed more than 8,000 likes, and Karren was met with compliments in the comments section. Several people said that they didn't recognise her initially, with some suggesting that they mistook her for other celebrities. The first photo in the post showed Karren stood modelling the sleeveless dress, which she had accessorised with a Chanel belt, in a hallway. A second photo gave a glimpse at a procedure, with a device seen being used on an arm. Karren wrote in the caption: "I never thought I'd be able to wear short sleeves again, but after a course of Exion skin-tightening with radio frequency, I can! Exion uses radiofrequency and targeted ultrasound to naturally boost hyaluronic acid by up to 224%, while stimulating collagen and elastin for smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin - all with no needles, no pain, and no downtime." She went on to tease that she will now be wearing more sleeveless outfits. Karren concluded by writing: "Bring on the sleeveless tops! Huge thanks to Rita Rakus @drritarakus_ as always." Some fans complimented her in the comments section of the post this week. One person wrote to her: "You look incredible Karren." Another said: "Stunning outfit. You look amazing Karren." Whilst a third reacted: "You look fabulous." Others suggested that she looked different. One person responded to the post: "For a second I really thought it was a different person." Another said: "She looks so different." Someone else commented: "Did not recognise her." Sharing their thoughts, another fan said: "Looks nothing like her." Some people compared her to Jane Seymour, 74. One person wrote: "At first glance I thought it was the actress Jane Seymour." Another said: "Young Jane Seymour." Others suggested that they had initially mistaken her for singer Jennifer Lopez and former soap star Michelle Keegan. The caption also attracted attention. Some fans responded to Karren by sharing that people can wear short sleeved outfits no matter what their arms look like. One wrote in a comment: "Who said you couldn't wear short sleeves." One said: "Who's going to tell her that you can wear short sleeves whatever your arms look like? There aren't any rules, it's okay." Someone else wrote: "You could wear sleeveless tops without this. You can wear what you want." "But you could always wear sleeveless tops?" another questioned. Whilst one fan wrote to Karren: "I've got bingo wings but I don't care in this heat I'm wearing sleeveless tops and dresses!"

Unexpected Love Island stars cosy up as they down shots at boozy reunion party
The gang caught up over shots following the end of the most recent series of ITV reality dating show Love Island, with the night including lots of dancing and a surprise coupling up The most recent batch of Love Island stars downed shots and got cosy as they reunited for a wild night out after leaving the villa behind. Swapping Majorca for Shoreditch, most of the cast from the ITV2 series showed up to enjoy a rooftop party at Kaso Rooftop, dancing the night away - with some of them getting very close indeed. Sharing their night out with fans on TikTok and Instagram, the group showed off their outfits and posted selfies, with some cheeky moments captured. Irish star Andrada Pop was seen necking spirits before getting close to bombshell Remell Mullings. Casa Amor bombshell Andrada, 27, wore a bright red figure-hugging dress with a plunging neckline. She and Remell, who never actually met on the show, clearly had a spark, with the pair laughing with each other, before posing for a selfie. It comes after one TV star admitted she sleeps in separate bed to partner as she fumes over pregnancy. Runners-up Harry Cooksley and Shakira Khan were inseparable as they were spotted kissing outside the venue. But their night was tainted when Harry's car got a flat tire, meaning he was forced to shell out £200 for an Uber home. Lucy Quinn has clearly moved on from her voice note drama, owning the dance floor in a silver mini skirt and top, while Megan Moore wore a shimmery mesh gown. Her Love Island partner and on-off boyfriend Dejon looked sleek as he wore all black, with the personal trainer brushing off criticism over how he treated his girlfriend on the show. The 26-year-old has been forced to defend himself after it was revealed a book was set to be released discussing alleged 'gaslighting and abuse' by him. Semi-pro footballer Dejon insists he has been the target of "untruths" in the book Surviving Dejon, written by his stepsister Niah Sienna. Discussing the backlash, Dejon told Capital XTRA: "There's a lot of untruths and a lot of unfair stories which I am challenging at the moment. The most important thing is that Meg knows who I am, my family know who I am, and my friends know who I am." He also expressed gratitude to Andrada Pop and Billykiss Azeez for their recent backing. Dejon explained: "Even shoutout to Andrada and Billykiss because when we saw them when was coming out of the villa they were basically saying, 'Dejon, there's so much things being said about you. "We know that's not you. We know that's not who you are as a person'. So yeah shoutout to them two because they didn't need to do that." He also recently took to social media to remind the public that he's a "human being with real emotions". He posted on Instagram: "I've stayed quiet, but that doesn't mean it hasn't affected me. "I hold my self accountable for my communication and everyday I'm growing as a person, so thank you for those who see the good in me. I'm not just a character on an entertainment reality tv show I'm also a human being with real emotions, some of the stuff I've seen said about me has been hard to deal with and they are the furthest thing from the truth." He added: "I questioned why people would do these things and it was getting me nowhere as I couldn't understand and is something I would never do to somebody else but what's kept me grounded is movement. "Running, training, pushing myself when everything in my head feels heavy. It clears my mind, helps me breathe, reminds me of who I am outside of the noise. "If you're struggling mentally, I get it. I really do. You don't have to have it all figured out just find that one thing that brings you back to yourself and take it one step at a time."
