Banksy claimed the third artwork on his Instagram on Wednesday

Banksy has posted another artwork in London, marking the third piece of a new animal-themed collection - this time featuring monkeys.

It is the third black silhouette composition that the Bristol-based street artist has claimed credit for since Monday.

On Wednesday, he posted an image on Instagram of the monkeys looking as though they were swinging on the bridge of an east London Tube station.

It is on a bridge over Brick Lane, near a vintage clothing shop and a coffee house, not far from Shoreditch High Street.

He did not write a caption for any of the Instagram posts, which has fuelled speculated online about their meaning.

Three monkeys have been associated with the Japanese proverb "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil".

In Banksy's work, the monkeys are not covering their eyes, ears or mouths.
