BANKSY
One of my absolute favorite 21 century artist, is a street artist by the name of Banksy. He is from London and basically does graffiti having to do with society. His image isn't known and somehow remains to be unknown. He has such a distinct style that you can spot out his work with one glance. Creative isn't even the word when speaking about him. To me it is indescribable. Some is super realistic and some cartoony but almost always dealing with social puns. Above are some of his famous images but the list goes on. Not only does Banksy do graffiti but he also does exhibits like sculptures and paintings like such. He was also featured in a film named "Exit through the Gift Shop" in 2010. It is basically filmed accounts of what happens in the street art world. How they make money, why they do it and how important fame is to them. After watching this documentary you respect the art form a bit more and it kinda motivates yourself to do something that will always be remembered.
I have a book on Banksy in my office, take a look at it.
ReplyDeleteHe's kind of fallen victim to the hype lately, but hi sworn, especially the early work, is very very good
