Banksy

[Bigga]

I have a pretty eclectic taste in music mate, from early Bowie to Tavares and even some of Ed Sheeran. My problem with Banksy is that he's not just an edgy artist he's now a high end artist selling for top whack to very rich influential people whilst breaking a law both you and I wouldn't get away with.

e could graffiti a police station and get accolades instead of a date to attend court with a bill to clean up his mess.

It's interesting that you see paint and a mess, whereas others see topic matter to think about.

I made a short film a long time ago about the differences of the sanctioned [accepted] assault on the visual senses of images I, personally, don't want to see i.e., advertisements trying to part you from your money and colourful well done graffiti art brightening up dilapidated/ forgotten areas.

For me, Banksy is the latter adding symbolism into the art.

I have no problem with it at all.

How come no one's ever seen him or photographed him? He must have a van and ladders and it's gonna take a while. Lol.

He/They may be a collective of artists..... And Banksy is the project.

Well, how come no one's ever seen them then? I'm genuinely intrigued. To remain anonymous, nowadays, is some feat.

Most people have an issue where he puts his art mate not what he draws, someone can draw the Mona fuckin' Lisa on a wall and the council would want it scrubbed off.

Context is all mate :)

Is anyone else sick of seeing the national news reporting every single doodle from this guy. What’s the fascination? I honestly don’t get it.

I don't get how he's 'unidentified'.

Do his doodles take 2 mins, does nobody ever see him/CCTV and don't get me started on that shredding shit at the Auction House.

If no one knows who he is how does the ‘artwork/graffiti’ become worth millions/thousands and who gets the money? If there’s a bank account it surely has a name?

A quick Google will tell you who he is.

Then why all the fuss about no one ever seeing him or knowing who he is.


p.s. I've not Googled as I am not that bothered. :-)
