Banksy – Street art on your wall!
Who doesn't know him? Probably the most famous and legendary street artist of our time. To this day, it's unknown who is behind Banksy's celebrated pieces, stencils, and graffiti. His artworks are highly socially critical in an amusing way. Consumerism, capitalism, state power, public surveillance, and the behavior of the media and social media are particularly a thorn in the side of the street artist. Banksy even repeatedly and successfully pokes fun at art lovers and (supposed) art experts, for example, by secretly smuggling his own pieces into established museums or ridiculing the art auctions for his paintings.
Because Banksy moves quickly and discreetly from one wall to another like a rat, he primarily uses pre-made stencils or pochoirs in public spaces, which allow him to spray his pieces onto the wall in seconds. His repertoire also includes installations, films, and other art forms.
His communication guerrilla style was particularly influenced by Blek le Rat, but he also passionately quotes anti-art forms like Pop Art, appropriating themes and techniques. Andy Warhol and Damian Hirst are frequently cited artists. Banksy has now helped street art achieve such a high reputation that street art is moving into galleries and museums. His works are highly valued, and street pieces are even stolen from their surroundings and auctioned off at high prices.
Of course, you don't have to go that far.
