Banksy
Banksy is an anonymous street artist. The appeal his anonymity has on him gives him mass effect in the sense that no one knows who has created this masterpiece on streets or in some cases ever their property. There has been some speculation regarding Banksy identity. Photos of a middle aged man have been shown online and in newspapers apparently revealing ‘Banksy’ but this is not water tight evidence and he still remains somewhat of a mystery.  Banksy art work is controversial yet humerous. For example he stencilled two police officers kissing on a public brick wall and also a police man bending down sniffing cocaine from the floor. To most this is comical and very funny to see. Although Banksy is anonymous it makes me wonder whether it is just his face  that is now nameless. I say this because according to quickagram.com/user/21269821 he has a management team to manage is schedule and artwork and also that he is the son of a photographer from Bristol.  Personally when i look at Banksys art work online, in a book,  canvas, etc, i always think if i was to see stencil work like that sprayed across the streets of my town, id look forward to stepping foot outside my front door each and every day. If you haven’t already before below are some of the art work Banksy has produced and blessed the streets with.
