BANKSY

For those unware of who Banksy is, I dont know either. Banksy is a well-known psuedo-anonymous graphitti artist from britain. The son of a photocopier engineer, he trained as a butcher but became involved in graffiti during the great Bristol aerosol boom of the late 1980s also the decade when graphitti was at it ascent. His artworks are often-satirical pieces of art on topics such as politics, culture, and ethics.His art has appeared in cities around the world. He does not sell photos of street graffiti or mount exhibitions of screenprints in commercial galleries. There has been false news of his capture and his identity is still unknown.

I'm not sure if it's the same artist, but I've seen similar work of the exact same style on Soho. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same artist?
