A MYSTERIOUS figure likened to graffiti specialist Banksy has left their latest works on display right at the heart of Ulverston town centre.
LoKi, whose first pieces popped up in 2014, has placed a collection of life-size modrock-crafted figures on the main roundabout in Ulverston - almost two years since the artist last took over the grassed area.
LoKi’s first work - a six-foot painting of a human skull daubed above a doorway in Brewery Street - appeared in June 2014. They continued to leave artwork around Ulverston throughout the summer.
In September 2015, LoKi left a series of figures at the roundabout and a new set of human-like statues have now been placed at the same site.
Speaking at the time, the artist said: "I'm busy trying to convey through art the unending and fruitless struggle of mankind living in an autonomous democratic society. Busy looking on Google for a cool and witty quote written by someone else to pass off as my own in a vain attempt to seem all arty, deep and mysterious.
"I will leave you with this thought i just had.
"Some people become cops because they want to make the world a better place. Some people become vandals because they want to make the world a better looking place."
