Passers-by have been doing double-takes at a new Banksy-style work that has popped up in Brighton.

The stencil, on a wall opposite Jury’s Inn in Stroudley Road, shows a black and white portrait of a man trying to scale a wall in the full view of a security camera.

Next to it, written in red, are the words “no walls no borders”.

However, last night a Banksy spokeswoman denied that it was done by the mysterious graffiti artist.

The picture has been linked to the life-sized portrait of Nick Drake that was scrubbed off the top of Viaduct Road in Brighton on Friday, january 6.
