Banksy sculpture targets church sex abuse | The Independent | The Independent A sculpture of a "vandalised" priest by the underground artist Banksy has gone on display today alongside 17th-century Old Masters. The artist, known for his graffiti on the streets of cities across the world, has created Cardinal Sin, a replica of an 18th-century stone bust which has had the face sawn off and replaced with a mosaic of bathroom tiles. The effect is to replicate the pixellation techniques used in the media to prevent identification of victims of sex crimes.
