Vandalised Banksy Mural on UK Prison Wall Gets a 'Peachy' Makeover With Local Artist's Restoration

News 18  

The mural that was the handiwork of UK street artist Banksy that had appeared on a wall of the Reading Prison in London and was later vandalised soon after has been restored by another street artist, reports said. However, the wall art was soon sprayed over and the words ‘Team Robbo’ sprayed on the lower side of the mural, covering the typewriter. Street artist ‘Peachy’ recently repainted the typewriter to make it look like Banksy’s work again, reports said. However after Robbo suffered a major accident and was left comatose in 2011, Banksy had painted over the Camden mural in black and white, replicating Robbo’s piece as a mark of tribute to him.
