Banksy revealed?

Frontman of UK trip-hop group eyed

A Scottish journalist believes he has unmasked Banksy — claiming the guerrilla street artist is actually a posse of spray-painters, including the singer for the English trip-hop trio Massive Attack.

Musician and one-time stencil artist Robert “3D” Del Naja (inset), 51, is the latest suspect thought to be responsible for the darkly satirical graffiti, Craig Williams wrote Thursday on the news site Glasgow Live.

Williams forged a link between Banksy and Del Naja by plotting at least six occasions where the interna- tional locations of Massive Attack concerts and appearances of the artist’s distinctive stencilled murals have coincided over the past 12 years. The overlaps included murals that appeared during Massive Attack tours in San Francisco, Boston and Toronto in 2010, and during Banksy’s monthlong residency in New York in 2013.

Del Naja may be leading a small “street team” of artists who follow the band on tour and leave behind a valuable trail of Banksy-signed works, Williams said.

Del Naja has previously denied he is Banksy, although he has claimed to be the artist’s pal, telling the Los Angeles Times in 2010 that he had stopped doing graffiti, “but Banksy coerced me to start up again.”

Conversely, Banksy has denied that he is Del Naja, the Daily Mail noted — he suggested to an underground magazine in 2006 that Del Naja was too old to be him.

Del Naja isn’t the first to be “outed” as Banksy. In 2008, the Mail put forward the name of another British street artist, Robin Gunningham, 42.
