When
we think about street art, the first name that comes to our mind is
the name Banksy.
There
are a lot of great talents in the streets at present, but
undoubtedly, this guy has marked urban art forever and he's and he
will be a role model for a whole generation of young artists in the
world of graffiti.
'His
Hidden identity'
Banksy
is an England-based graffiti artist, political activist and film
director of unverified identity. His satirical street art and
subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed by a
distinctive stenciling technique.
His
works of political and social commentary have been featured on
streets, walls and bridges of cities throughout the world. Banksy's
work grew out of the Bristol uderground scene, which involved
collaborations between artists and musicians.
Observers
have noted that his style is similar to Blek le Rat, who began to
work with stencils in 1981 in Paris. Banksy says that he was ispired
by 3D, a graffiti artist who later became a founding member of
Massive Attack, an English musical group.
