“Should graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It’s way more important than that.”
Banksy
Known across the globe as the most controversial street artist in the world, political activist Banksy has spent 20 years plastering walls in cities across the world. One of the most important things we know about Banksy is that his identity remains a secret. Often politically charged, his work reacts to complex issues such as war, capitalism, establishment, politics, and poverty. These striking images, which are occasionally combined with slogans or catchphrases to convey a particular message, are brimming with dark humor.
