England based graffiti artist that also has a strong concentration on politics, film and painting.
Banksy's art can be viewed throughout the world, whether it be on walls or streets in many different large cities.
The medium or vehicle used by Banksy would be paint and stencils. Location is also a key factor to how his piece will be portrayed.
He wants all of society to view his work and wants everyone to be educated by the political and social themes that he presents. Some of his most commonly displayed issues are anti-war, anti-capitalism and anti-facisim. He also wants to gain attention of those who are unaware of societal issues.
Many of his works include policemen, elderly, and children to demonstrate other societal issues such as, poverty, boredom and hypocrisy.
Exit Through The Gift Shop was a film that was supposedly about Banksy. He created 10 new works that would be incorporated within this film. There were several pieces created around the Detroit area, in which one was located in Royal Oak and the other in Warren.
"We can’t do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves."
"Sometimes I feel so sick at the state of the world, I can’t even finish my second apple pie."
