Banksy's latest intriguing artwork appears to have artful eroticismlanded in time for Valentine's Day.

The elusive street artist has reportedly left one of their signature stencil works on the side of a house in Bristol, UK, overnight. It depicts a small girl with a slingshot, who looks to have caused an explosion of red flowers in the sky.

Banksy posted an image of the artwork on their Instagram account at midnight on Valentine's Day, which many have taken as confirmation of authorship — it's how Banksy has confirmed other artworks in the past.

The property resides in Barton Hill, Bristol. Kelly Woodruff, whose father owns it, told the BBC people had started calling it "Valentine's Banksy."

It's the latest UK-based artwork from the street artist, who made headlines for a poignant artwork installed in Birmingham, UK, in December, drawing attention to homelessness at Christmas time.

Woodruff also said the family are worried about the approaching Storm Dennis. Might be time to cover that thing up.
