Banksy
22-Oct-2009
In the space of a decade, using cardboard stencils and spraypaint, Banksy has become a global brand. In that time he's maintained his anonymous mystique while spraying out his subversive political commentary. The aesthetic is clean, the humour spot-on, the imagery instantly readable and recognisable.
In the space of a decade, using cardboard stencils and spraypaint,
Banksy has become a global brand. In that time he's maintained
his anonymous mystique while spraying out his subversive political
commentary, consumerist cat-calls and clever graphic satires on the
state we're in. The aesthetic is clean, the humour spot-on, the imagery
instantly readable and recognisable.
His street art, which
combines graffiti with a distinctive stencilling technique has
appeared in London and cities the world over.
He has been the
media darling of the last eight years and has performed countless stunts
that are increasingly well documented from hanging his own work in The
Tate, painting live elephants and perhaps his most audacious stunt in April 2008 ‘One Nation
Under CCTV’ which was located just off Oxford St required three stories of
scaffolding to complete right under the eye of the surveillance cameras his work was referencing.
Banksy’s work continues to sell to Hollywood celebrities and high
profile collectors for vast sums of money.
