His latest piece rests on an abandoned gas station, located in Midwood, Brooklyn. It portrays a man who appears to be a real estate developer, stock-lashing and driving away a group of people. Capitalism aside, Banksy continues to comment on political issues as well. Another popular mural he produced in 2018 addresses the imprisonment of Zehra Doğan. She was sentenced by a court in Turkey to two years and nine months in prison for painting an image of the destroyed Kurdish-majority city of Nusaybin, obliterated by the Turkish government forces.
