Banksy - Wall and Piece

Banksy - Wall and Piece Banksy - Wall and Piece peterek2 The collected works of Britain’s most wanted artist.Artistic genius, political activist, painter and decorator, mythic legend or notorious graffiti artist? The work of Banksy is unmistakable (except maybe when it’s squatting in the New York’s Metropolitan Museum or Museum of Modern Art). Banksy is responsible for decorating the streets, walls, bridges and zoos of towns and cites throughout the world.Witty and subversive, his stencils show monkeys with weapons of mass destruction, policeman with smiley faces, rats with drills and umbrellas. If you look hard enough you’ll find your own. His statements, incitements, ironies and epigrams are by turns intelligent and witty comments on everything from the monarchy and capitalism to the war in Iraq and farm animals.His identity remains unknown, but his work is prolific. And now for the first time, he’s putting together the best of his work—old and new—in a fully illustrated color volume.Banksy, real name unknown, was born in Bristol, England.
