Banksy pulled off an audacious stunt to produce what is believed to be his biggest work yet in central London.

The secretive graffiti artist managed to erect three storeys of scaffolding behind a security fence despite being watched by a CCTV camera.

Then, during darkness and hidden behind a sheet of polythene, he painted this comment on 'Big Brother' society.

Banksy was named one of the The 100 most powerful people in British culture

84 Banksy, 34, artist. Once a guerrilla artist of the streets, Banksy now routinely sells his work for six-figure sums. Despite this, he has managed to retain his anonymity.

None too shabby.
