Banksy
 

What is your opinion of him?

Discuss

I love pretty much all his work I have seen images of.

He is an amazing artist. I'm tiring now of all this anonymity thing though. OK most of the stuff he does would get him locked up but anyone with half a brain could find him in seconds in reality

I like street art, sometimes it helps to make the wall more enjoyable to walk past, but I don't like graffiti like the stuff I see on the way to work 'this is just to distract you - well it worked you *****!' :bored:

I'm half watching a documentory about him on C4+1 called Exit Through The Gift Shop. It's interesting. Might be on C4OD later perhaps

Oh and my OP is a link about him btw. Not just underlined

From them images I like his work! I always think this kinda stuff is art rather than crime.

banksy killed king robbo

I want to know where he has stashed the rest of the £1 million in £10 notes with princess diana on.
Ive seen exit through the gift shop a few times and on first viewing its such an odd sequence of events that i thought it had to be scripted but it really isnt.

The way banksy turns the theme of the documentary back on thierry guetta (mr brainwash) is genius in its self.

Im a big fan of banksy his work is amazing.

Oh the notes!! I can't believe some people took them! :joker:

Mr Brainwash was an odd one. I need to watch this properly at some point

Its well worth a proper watch banksy told Mr brainwash to have a go at doing a bit of art and went on his way next he heard was that Mr Brainwash had re-mortgaged his family home and spent all his life savings over quarter of a million dollars on opening a massive art studio and a team of staff :joker:

Didn't he make a fortune though? I kept catching bits but not all

Mr Brainwash is amazing he designed the entire Celebration artwork.

Yes he made a million dollars in the first 8 days of his first exhibition and he is really good at what he does its just really weird how he ended up doing it. he got the best graffiti artists in the world to tell everyone in the artworld that he was a genius and they just accepted it and started paying big money for his work.

That is cool.

A French Art Bloke claims Banksy is using his drawings.

he is rubbish and city types love to think they love him

lol

Graffiti Wars

Rivairy between Banksy and King Robbo

London 2009.

Well spotted i shall be watching.

Never even heard of a King Robbo

I'll be watching Graffiti Wars too

King Robbos work is just a mess the same rubbish you see daubed on buildings anywhere :conf2: :conf2:

No, it doesn't exactly stick out.

Laughed at Banksy's work over his last remaining piece :joker:

The lengths they go to! It's crazy!

I saw an article recently that showed that he just copied the work that a french street artist was doing. Made me lose a lot of respect for him. I did enjoy the documentary movie he made though "exit through the gift shop"

But now that i know he stole his style and ideas from another artist especially a FRENCH artist, i think he's a poseur.
