Banksy



     Banksy is a famous British street artist is known for his street art, paintings, and films.  He has been doing graffiti work for years and I believe that he is very good at what he does. His street art is very profound and makes a huge statement. Everyone of his pieces says something different. He is a man with something to say and he is not afraid to say it. Banksy seems to be a very opinionated person and he displays that through his art. I like the style that has has mastered. Most of his work seems to be done in a stenciling type manor with meaning behind it. 



Take this piece below for example. The message that I get out of this is that graffiti is illegal because artis use it to make a statement. Artis have been using different mediums to make a statement for years but i believe that since graffiti is placed anywhere and can not be "regulated" that positions and police officers are afraid that is can help start a movement  I believe that it only takes one person to start a movement and Banksy could be that person.


This is one of Banksy pieces that is quite funny if you actually think about it. A business man with a suitcase heading to work but has no interest in people at all. He probably sees people at work everyday and fakes being interested or happy to see them. There are a lot of people that have corporate jobs that have no interset in what they do or the people that are working with everyday. These people need to find what makes them happy and do it.
