Ecoban Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Banksy is an artist essentially known for his graffiti art. He's also a political activist : the stencils of Banksy images are humorous, occasionally combined with slogans & the message is usually anti-militarist, anti-capitalist or anti-system. Some thoughts from Banksy : - "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." - "Become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything else" - "A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to." - "It's a very frustrated feeling you get when the only people with good photos of you work are the police department." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PixeL...?! Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Banksy had an exhibition 3 years ago here in the UK which I went to and it was frickin' great! Here's a BBC article about it- http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/bristol/hi/people_and_places/arts_and_culture/newsid_8096000/8096891.stm Plus there's a movie he's made called "Exit Through the Gift Shop" which is well worth watching.
