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.”
