The central Croatian city of Karlovac, located between Zagreb and Rijeka, is known for its castle, its Karlovačko beer and its aquarium. Now it seems it may have another claim to fame: as home to the Croatian Banksy.
One recent morning, Karlovac citizens were surprised to find an amusing mural of a mouse about gain revenge on a cat as she turns the corner of the street – actually, a major urban intersection where the main avenue of Korzo and ulica Stjepana Radića meet.
While the location for the illustration is a prominent one, nobody has signed the artwork nor claimed ownership. Whoever it was also drew a less sinister likeness, in which the cat is seeing attempting to catch a bird.
Will the anonymous artist now create another mural somewhere else in Karlovac?
