Elusive street artist Banksy reveals new artwork – in France?
Banksy's back... and he / she / they may have crossed the Channel. In an Instagram post on Thursday, Banksy unveiled his latest piece: a traffic bollard casting a shadow of a lighthouse with the words "I want to be what you saw in me" written over it. The post was not accompanied by a caption or location. Within ten hours of posting, the image had collected more than 500,000 likes. Voir cette publication sur Instagram Une publication partagée par Banksy (@banksy) While Banksy's art regularly features satire or socio-political meaning, this new artwork has fans scratching their heads. A critique of state surveillance, perhaps? Or maybe a commentary about modern isolation? Or is it something more personal, a universal feeling characterised by a tinge of melancholia? Once again, Banksy shines in taking an ordinary object and turning it into something altogether more surprising – a simple yet potent reminder that what we dismiss in daily life as mundane can take on different meanings depending on how we decide to observe it... And not take the potentially extraordinary for granted. We all need a lighthouse, a sense of guidance and hope. We also feel the need to be seen for who we are and aspire to be a better version of ourselves... And how easier would life be if we managed to perceive ourselves through the eyes of another, and perhaps catch the reflection of the (hopefully better) person others imagine us to be? The new artwork has also left Banksy fans frantically speculating over its location. Geoguessers on social media have speculated that the street art may be Marseille, in the south of France. All we know is that the piece comes five months after 'Mother and Child', the December 2024 artwork that reinterpreted the religious iconography of the "Madonna and Child" in a contemporary light, and follows the elusive artist's 2023 'Beastly London' campaign. The latter was a nine-day burst of animal-themed murals scattered across the city which featured elephants peeking from boarded windows in Chelsea and a horny rhinoceros enthusiastically mounting a Nissan Micra in Walthamstow. Elsewhere, Blink-182 frontman Mark Hoppus sold his Banksy painting for €5.2 million at a London auction ealier this year, The record for a Banksy sale still stands at £18.6 million in 2021 (€27 million adjusted for inflation) for "Love is in the Bin". After Banksy installed a shredder into the frame of his 2006 painting "Girl with Balloon" and programmed it to self-destruct after an auction in 2018, the half-shredded painting was renamed and sold for the astronomical sum.

Hurley launches first brand ambassador campaign with Travis Barker
Global apparel and lifestyle brand Hurley launched on Wednesday its first brand ambassador campaign and capsule collection with Travis Barker. Barker brings his distinct influence to every element of the limited-edition drop and innovative campaign. Camo prints, skull motifs, checker patterns, and old English graphics, define the collection, while staples like chinos, shorts, and overalls nod to Barker's signature wardrobe. The line also features surf and swimwear, alongside accessories including footwear, sunglasses, and headwear. The collection launches with a campaign shot at Barker's recording studio and throughout the streets of California, capturing his raw, rebellious spirit. Personal touches, from the instruments that built his career to his collectible cars and motorcycles, add authenticity to the visuals. "This collaboration is special for us as it showcases the synergy between the spirit and excitement of Hurley in its early days with who we are now as an internationally established brand with the power to do something really loud and exciting," said Joey Gabbay, CEO at Bluestar Alliance, Hurley's parent company. "Hurley has always believed that music and art are the common threads that bring us all together and having a legendary artist like Travis create custom designs and fits based on his own personal style sealed the deal for us. We strive for authenticity in everything we do, and this collaboration is a perfect symbol of that dedication.' Barker's connection with the Hurley brand spans decades. In the early 2000s, during Blink-182's explosive rise on the Warped Tour, he was already sporting Hurley tees and embodying the laid-back rebellion of Southern California. Now, over two decades later, he's officially channeling that legacy into a capsule collection. "This collection represents everything I love about the lifestyle I've carved out for myself," added Barker. "It's tattooed and poetic, chaotic and precise—a beautiful contradiction that just works. It's made for people like me, the punk kids, the surf community and the people who can't help but create. I love the freedom I was given with this process and believe that really comes through in the product and designs."

Comic Lisa Gilroy promises ‘manic' energy at streaming-only Canadian Screen Awards
TORONTO - When Lisa Gilroy was asked to host this year's Canadian Screen Awards, she pounced at the offer like a goalie on a rebound. 'I thought maybe they made a mistake so I said yes really fast before they could take it back,' the Edmonton-born comedian says on a call from her Los Angeles home. It's a fitting attitude for a performer who says she's been open to just about every opportunity lately, from cameos in Netflix's 'Black Mirror' and a Blink-182 music video to helming Canada's biggest film and television bash on Sunday. 'I'm out here kind of saying yes to absolutely anything.' she laughs. Amid ongoing U.S.-Canada tensions fuelling protectionist talk around film and media production, Gilroy sees this weekend's Screen Awards as a chance to champion homegrown talent and the offbeat Canadian voices that shaped her — and she hopes to nudge at the politics in a 'positive, lighthearted' way. 'When push comes to shove, like (Prime Minister Mark) Carney said, we're not for sale and we're our own thing. It's an amazing moment to look at, 'Who are we? What's the kind of art we make? What's our style of comedy?'' she said, adding she was raised on Canadian staples such as 'Trailer Park Boys' and 'The Red Green Show.' Gilroy is fast becoming one of Canada's buzziest comedy breakouts, known for her cartoonish energy and taste for the absurd. Since going viral for her pandemic-era sketch videos and becoming a regular on the comedy-podcast circuit, she's landed roles in Seth Rogen's HBO comedy 'The Studio' and Hulu dramedy 'Interior Chinatown.' Next up, she'll appear in Peacock's post-apocalyptic series 'Twisted Metal' and Netflix's Jennifer Lopez–led rom-com 'Office Romance.' Gilroy says live comedy is her first love, and she credits her L.A. improv shows for opening doors to her screen career. 'If you're a director or a producer and you come and see me on stage acting like a maniac and pretending to be some sort of swamp troll that lives in a sewer and eats dogs, and you want to put me in something, then absolutely, God bless you,' she says. 'You know what you've signed up for.' Sunday's Canadian Screen Awards bash concludes three days and five awards shows of honouring the best in Canadian film, television and digital media. Gilroy says viewers can expect 'the same energy you've seen me have on podcasts, which is like, manic, unstable.' For the first time since the pandemic, the Screen Awards show won't air on any TV channels — it will instead stream live exclusively on CBC Gem. Tammy Frick, the CEO of Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television, says moving the show to streaming makes it more 'accessible' and 'flexible.' 'The way people are consuming content has changed a lot over the years, and we wanted to meet the audience at that point,' she says. 'In the linear broadcast, we were committed to 60 minutes, which was very difficult for us to present the show that we wanted. Moving to CBC Gem allows the show to breathe a little bit. Now we have 90 minutes.' Leading all contenders is Citytv's 'Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent,' with 20 nominations in the television categories, while Matthew Rankin's Winnipeg-shot dramedy 'Universal Language' tops the film side with 13 nods. 'Law & Order Toronto' executive producer Amy Cameron questioned the choice to skip a traditional TV broadcast of the Screen Awards. 'I would love for it to be on TV. I find it a bit disappointing, but you can't know why anybody's made these decisions,' she said in March after the nominations were announced. Cameron said the lack of a broadcast is a missed opportunity to celebrate Canadian talent more widely. 'I would love for a Canadian audience to recognize just how talented we are collectively as an industry here. But if they're very interested in it, they'll come and watch the stream.' Gilroy, meanwhile, says she's leaving the broadcast decisions to the powers that be and is just happy to be in the room. 'I wish I was a woman who wore a suit and had a briefcase and was the king of CBC, but I'm not. I just do what they tell me to do. And I don't want to lose this job. So streaming or TV, whatever it's going to be, I just want to celebrate Canadian talent,' she says. 'I want to be able to touch one Canadian Screen Award. I'm not even going to get to take one home, but maybe I'll get to stand next to Tom Green for one second. Maybe I'll get to make eye contact with Jason Priestley. I'm trying to just stay positive and think about those moments.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 28, 2025.
