Mystery of Lancaster University's answer to Banksy

The mystery artwork in the Lancaster University library

A mysterious Banksy-style graffiti artist's work has been praised after it appeared on a wall at Lancaster University.

The university posted images of the beautiful artwork on its Facebook page this week after it was drawn in the Lancaster University Library learning space.

"We have a mystery artist on campus!" said the post.

"Whoever you are - you've brightened up our Library learning space."

Facebook users were quick to christen the mystery artist 'Lanksy'!

They also praised the quality of the art, calling it "amazing" and "fantastic", and called on the university to ask the artist to create an entire mural!

Banksy is a famous street artist, active since the 1990s and known for his distinctive stenciling style, whose identity has never been revealed.
