Banksy, Street artist:

Banksy, Untitled 1 (no date)

Banksy is a newish artist to myself but a very inspiring one in that time. Banksy is a street artist but has a twist to the whole story of his work.

Banksy's real image has never been found out 100% but instead his work speak for himself and personally I feel he creates art that represents society's views and what many people don't say. Many people have tried to find out who he is but in my opinion it creates a stronger image, art speaks for itself and the artist doesn't need to enhance this.

 

Untitled 2

This is the image the daily mail released trying to get information about banksy and hopefully trying to find out his image to what he looks like today. This was the only image the 'Mail' could find however information was given and questions were asked, the image below is what people think he looks like now but nothing is certain. 

  In the frame: The man in this photograph, taken in Jamaica four years ago, is believed to be Banksy

A lot of Banksy's work is what many people look past and how society is changing. In years before people that were gay were outcast however as society is changing it has been more accepted. I feel this piece of work enhances and is more noticed more then others because of him using police men and how they are meant to control society, however it contradicts their power and views being changed.

A reason I chose this piece of work was because how opposite the two main objects are which is another reason I feel Banksy's work is so powerful and why it catches people's eyes.

I feel Banksy's work is different, diverse and subject the thoughts that many people think. The work enhances thoughts. Furthermore by not having his image revealed It keeps him interesting and is intriguing of how his thought process work.
