Banksy - The Invisible Man of Graffiti Art

“Banksy” is a well-known pseudo-anonymous English graffiti artist. Banksy’s real name is unknown, but he was born in 1974 and raised in Bristol, England. He trained as a butcher, but became involved in graffiti during the great Bristol aerosol boom of the late 1980s. Banksy’s parents think their son is a painter and decorator.

His artworks are often-satirical pieces of art that encompass topics such as politics, culture, and ethics. His vandalism, which combines graffiti writing with a distinctive stenciling technique similar to Blek le Rat, who began in 1981 in Paris to work with stencils. His art has appeared in cities all around the world. Banksy’s work was borne out of the larger Bristol underground scene which involved collaborations between artists and musicians.

Banksy does not sell photos of street graffiti or mount exhibitions of screen prints in commercial galleries, but his latest work can be seen throughout the streets of Los Angeles and London.

This shit is off the wall! Literally.
