Bansky
Bansky is a quasi-anonymousa English graffiti artist, his works are sarcastic and witty, u'll grin after looking at it. He has this exhibition at Bristol at the moment and so it's worth all the way going there to see the pieces. While u might also find his graffiti work on some of the walls in London (if hasnt been removed by government).
His artworks are often on topics such as politics, culture, and ethics. His artwork has appeared in cities around the world. Banksy does not sell photos of street graffiti. Art auctioneers have been known to attempt to sell his street art on location and leave the problem of its removal in the hands of the winning bidder (which is quite interesting and i wanna know how they can do it :P)
Some famous statments by Bansky:
“
We can’t do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves.
”
“
We don’t need any more heroes; we just need someone to take out the recycling.
”
“
When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.
”
“
Sometimes I feel so sick at the state of the world I can’t even finish my second apple pie.
”
“
Think from outside the box, collapse the box and take a fucking knife to it.
”
“
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.
”
“
If you want someone to be ignored, then build a life-size bronze statue of them and stick it in the middle of town.
”
“
People who should be shot: Fascist thugs, religious fundamentalists, people who write lists telling you who should be shot.
