There is an amazing exhibition in Manhatten right now all about the controversial graffiti artist, Banksy. There are over 80 of Banksy's works in a fitting edgy-urban space. I actually learned a lot about his past and the mystery around his unique and controversial.
Turns out he does a lot of good for many humanitarian causes and hopes his political statements make people stop and think. It kinda struck me that he is almost like he is the Robin Hood of street artists. It was awesome to see these works, especially since it's hard to find his creations "in the wild."
This looks really interesting!
ReplyDeleteHe is a modern day Robin Hood!
ReplyDeleteI love Banksy. There was a flash festival in Cornwall I think just recently...(a number of works being created around a tiny seaside town by Banksy)
ReplyDeleteAnother fascinating exhibition. Enjoy your week, stay safe, and thanks again for the link up.
ReplyDeleteSaw this in Toronto a few years ago, it was great! I'm a huge Banksy fan.
ReplyDeleteI have seen a few of his creations, but yes they are hard to find. Glad you were able to go see his exhibit!
ReplyDeleteGlad that you were able to see it. It is coming to SF and I think that I might want to go.
