Banksy unveils second artwork in 24 hours: Silhouettes of two elephants poking their heads out of blocked out windows appear on building in London<br /><br />Banksy today unveiled a second new artwork in London in less than 24 hours, this time depicting two elephants poking their heads out of blocked out windows.<br /><br />The street artist shared a photo of the wall art which features two dark elephant silhouettes with their trunks stretched out towards each other on Instagram today.<br /><br />It comes after Banksy revealed another new artwork near Kew Bridge in West London yesterday. This features a silhouette of a goat painted on top of a ledge with rocks falling down below it and a CCTV camera pointed towards the animal.<br /><br />Bristol-based Banksy did not write a caption for either Instagram post which has caused fans to speculate on the meaning of the two artworks - with some saying the piece in Chelsea could be a reference to 'elephants in the room'.<br /><br />The woman seen in front of the house on the corner of Edith Terrace and Edith Grove in Chelsea is said to be Lucy Boultbee-Brooks, 32, who was walking her dog Rufus.<br /><br />Ms Boultbee-Brooks, from Hereford, is an asset manager for her family's property investment and development firm Boultbee Brooks Real Estate. She posted a picture of Banksy's image on her Instagram Stories with the caption: 'Rufus made it.'<br /><br />Ms Boultbee-Brooks told MailOnline: 'I couldn't believe it when I got sent the picture. I was just on a dog walk early this morning and unfortunately didn't see anything.'
