His works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges throughout the world. Banksy displays his art on publicly visible surfaces such as walls and self-built physical prop pieces. Banksy no longer sells photographs or reproductions of his street graffiti, but his public "installations" are regularly resold, often even by removing the wall they were painted on. Banksy's name and identity remain unconfirmed and the subject of speculation. In a interview with Simon Hattenstone of The GuardianBanksy is described as "white, 28, scruffy casual—jeans, T-shirt, a silver tooth, silver chain and silver earring. According to Hattenstone, "anonymity is London in the Company of Painters 1st edition to him because graffiti is illegal". Brad Pitt [15]. Two cassette sleeves featuring his art work fromfor the Bristol band Mother Samosa, exist with his signature. In Octoberan internet hoax circulated that Banksy had been arrested and his identity revealed. He claims he changed to stencilling while hiding from the police under a rubbish lorry, when he noticed the stencilled serial number [37] and by employing this technique, he soon became more widely noticed for his art around Bristol and London. It depicts a teddy bear lobbing a Molotov cocktail at three riot police. Banksy's stencils feature striking and humorous images occasionally combined with slogans. The message is usually anti-war, anti-capitalist, or anti- establishment. Subjects often include ratsapespolicemen, soldiers, children, and the elderly. In July one of Banksy's early works, Gorilla in a Pink Maskwhich had been a prominent landmark on the exterior wall of a former social club in Eastville for over ten years, was unwittingly painted over after the premises became a Muslim cultural centre. Rocc, Coleman. Inat an exhibition called Turf Warheld in a London warehouse, Banksy painted on animals. These oil paintings were shown at a twelve-day exhibition in Westbourne Grove, London in Banksy, along with Shepard FaireyDmote, and others, created work at a warehouse exhibition in Alexandria, Sydneyfor Semi-Permanent in Approximately 1, people attended. Someone threw a large wad of these into a crowd at Notting Hill Carnival that year, which some recipients then tried to spend in local shops. These notes were also given with invitations to a Santa's Ghetto exhibition by Pictures on Walls. The individual notes have since been selling on eBay. A wad of the notes was also thrown over a fence and into the crowd near the NME signing tent at the Reading Festival. Banksy [50]. Banksy held an exhibition called Barely Legalbilled as a "three-day vandalised warehouse extravaganza" in Los Angeles, on the weekend London in the Company of Painters 1st edition 16 September The exhibition featured a live " elephant in a room ", painted in a pink and gold floral wallpaper pattern, which, according to leaflets handed out at the exhibition, was intended to draw attention to the issue of world poverty. Although the Animal London in the Company of Painters 1st edition Department had issued a permit for the elephant, after complaints from animal rights activists, the elephant appeared unpainted on the final day. Its owners rejected claims of mistreatment and said that the elephant had done "many, many movies. She's used to makeup. The six silk-screen prints, featuring the model painted in the style of Andy Warhol 's Marilyn Monroe picturessold for five times their estimated price. In Februarythe owners of a house with a Banksy mural on the side in Bristol decided to sell the house through Red Propeller art gallery after offers fell through because the prospective buyers wanted to remove the mural. It is listed as a mural that comes with a house attached. Jackson and John Travolta clutching bananas instead of guns. Although the image was very popular, Transport for London claimed that the graffiti created "a general atmosphere of neglect and social decay which in turn encourages crime" and their staff are "professional cleaners not professional art critics". Sometime later, Banksy made a tribute artwork over this second Pulp Fiction work. The tribute was for year-old British graffiti artist Ozone who, along with fellow artist Wants, was hit by an underground train in Barkingeast London on 12 January He also wrote a London in the Company of Painters 1st edition on his website saying:. The last time I hit this spot I painted a crap picture of two men in banana costumes waving handguns. A few weeks later a writer called Ozone completely dogged it and then wrote "If it's better next time I'll leave it" in the bottom corner. When we lost Ozone we lost a fearless graffiti writer and as it turns out a pretty perceptive art critic. Ozone—rest in peace. Banksy, as expected, did not turn up to collect his award and continued with his anonymous status. On 4 Juneit was reported that Banksy's The Drinker had been stolen. Banksy has published a " manifesto " on his website. It describes how a shipment of lipstick to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp immediately after its liberation at the end of World War II helped the internees regain their humanity. Then I realised God doesn't work that way, so I stole one and prayed for forgiveness. Banksy, who "is not represented by any of the commercial galleries that sell his work second hand including Lazarides Ltd, Andipa Gallery, Bank Robber, Dreweatts etc. The exhibition featured 62 of their paintings and prints. In March, Nathan Wellard and Maev Neal, a couple from Norfolk, UK, made headlines in Britain when they decided to sell their mobile home that contains a foot mural, entitled Fragile Silencedone by Banksy a decade prior to his rise to fame. In return for the "canvas", the Bristol stencil artist gave them two free tickets to the Glastonbury Festival. Also in Marcha stencilled graffiti work appeared on Thames Water tower in the middle of the Holland Park roundaboutand it was widely attributed to Banksy. It was of a child painting the tag "Take this—Society! In late Augustmarking the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the associated levee failure disasterBanksy produced a series of works in New OrleansLouisiana, mostly on buildings derelict since the disaster. A stencil painting attributed to Banksy appeared at a vacant petrol station in the Ensley neighbourhood of Birmingham, Alabama on 29 August as Hurricane Gustav approached the New Orleans area. The painting, depicting a hooded member of the Ku Klux Klan hanging from a noose, was quickly covered with black spray paint and later removed altogether. The animatronic pets in the store window include a mother hen watching over her baby Chicken McNuggets as they peck at a barbecue sauce packet, and a rabbit putting makeup on in a mirror. The council said it would remove any London in the Company of Painters 1st edition, regardless of the reputation of its creator, and specifically stated that Banksy "has no more right to London in the Company of Painters 1st edition graffiti than a child". Robert Davis, the London in the Company of Painters 1st edition of the council planning committee told The Times newspaper: "If we condone this then we might as well say that any kid with a spray can is producing art. The image had been protected by a sheet of clear perspex ; however, silver paint was poured behind London in the Company of Painters 1st edition protective sheet and later tagged with the words "Banksy woz ere". The image was almost completely obliterated. It was situated on Leake Streeta road tunnel formerly used by Eurostar underneath London Waterloo station. Graffiti artists with stencils were invited to join in and paint their own artwork, as long as it did not cover anyone else's. In MayBanksy parted company with agent Steve Lazarides and announced that Pest Control, [83] the handling service who act on his behalf, would be the only point of sale for new works. On 13 Junethe Banksy vs Bristol Museum show opened at Bristol City Museum and Art Galleryfeaturing more than works of art, including animatronics and installations; it is his largest exhibition yet, featuring 78 new works. The mural had been commissioned for the Blur single " Crazy Beat " and the property owner, who had allowed it to be painted, was reported to have been in tears when she saw it was being painted over. In DecemberBanksy marked the end of the United Nations Climate Change Conference by painting four murals on global warming. One included the phrase, "I don't believe in global warming;" the words were submerged in water. The feud has led to many of Banksy's works being altered by graffiti writers. The side of the building has an image of a giant rat by Banksy. In Marcha modified version of the work Forgive Us Our Trespassing —a kneeling boy with a spray-painted halo —was displayed at London Bridge Station on a poster. This version of the work did not possess the halo due to its stylistic nature and the prevalence of graffiti in the underground. In April, to coincide with the premiere of Exit Through the Gift Shop in San Francisco, five of his works appeared in various parts of the city. They claim that they do not intend to sell the work but plan to preserve it and display it at their Detroit gallery.

INTRODUCTION The notion of pranks, or committing mischievous acts, has been around for centuries—Leonardo da Vinci, Abraham Lincoln, and Thomas Edison were all pranksters.3 Committing or falling victim to a mischievous act is something that nearly everyone can relate to. The artist Banksy, who started his career with street graffiti and is now a world-renowned artist, owes the magnitude of his career to his ability to prank the public.4 He has formed his own definition of what it means to be an artist—a definition that encompasses not only the work he creates, but also the way in which he presents it.

    Banksy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Banksy The cover of Banksy's 2005 compilation, Wall and Piece. Birth name (unknown) Born Unknown Bristol Field Graffiti Street art Bristol underground scene Sculpture Satire Social commentary Awards Toronto Film Critics Association Awards – Best First Feature 2010 Independent Spirit Award for Best Documentary Feature Washington D.C. Area Film Critics Association – Best Documentary Film 2010 Banksy is a pseudonymous United Kingdom-based graffiti artist, political activist, film director, and painter. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stencilling technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world.[1] Banksy's work was made up of the Bristol underground scene which involved collaborations between artists and musicians.[2] According to author and graphic designer Tristan Manco and the book Home Sweet Home, Banksy "was born in 1974 and raised in Bristol, England.[3] The son of a photocopier technician, he trained as a butcher, but became involved in graffiti during the great Bristol aerosol boom of the late 1980s."[4] Observers have noted that his style is similar to Blek le Rat, who began to work with stencils in 1981 in Paris.[5][6] Banksy says that he was inspired by "3D", a graffiti artist who later became a founding member of Massive Attack.[7] Known for his contempt for the government in labelling graffiti as vandalism, Banksy displays his art on publicly visible surfaces such as walls, even going as far as to build physical prop pieces.
