What do you think of 'Banksy'?

[alchal]

Watched a couple of artists in Sheffield painting a large mural, was great to watch.
If you think it's a low skill art style I suggest you go watch some actually do the artwork, because it's anything but easy.

Banksy...he's just got a big ego who loves current trends and his work is so so at best.

I quite like the idea of his stuff.
Its creative.
Its the best vandalism you could hope for.

We got a couple of huge murals in my crappy little town painted by some graffiti chick with a distinct style, Somone here will probably know.
I think it's awesome tbh. Really brightens the place up. **** she got big in Sweden.....

This one got demolished after a few months, it was her first to show off skills.
More permanent ones are done now.

You do get that all art is subjective right? What is beautiful to you is not beautiful to others.

You realise this is my opinion right. What I say might not be what everyone thinks, right.

With graffiti in general, I like most of it as long as it's artistic and not just tagging. It's anti-establishment and sometimes can be quite amusing e.g. when I see it on trains.

Way to ruin a good livery.

I was mildly devastated when "Give peas a chance" was changed to "Give Helch a break" on the Chalfont Viaduct of the M25.

It says FREE PALESTINE now

Edit: oh sorry - it's that long bit of fence that says free palestine

Hugely against graffiti it should come with a strong jail sentence if you deface someone's property without permission.

I'd be happy for him to come and stick some thing on the side of my house if it increases the price, i'm not happy with the ***** that sprayed no to ulez on it.

 

[GGizmo]

I don't trust him because of he seems have an extraordinary amount of positive coverage right from the start.

He seems like a creation.

I thought Banksy was make believe like Santa, Jesus and the Tooth Fairy

Has secretive street artist Banksy let his mask slip at London mural?

Locals suggest a man seen at the latest artwork in Finsbury Park, north London, could be the person believed to be behind the mystery alias.

"Exit through the giftshop" is worth a watch

I think his art is ace, but the impressive thing is how he is still unknown.

I thought it was widely accepted that Robin Gunningham is Banksy.

All for graffiti in the right places. There is some utter knob around here that can barely write that just tags their "name" every 6 foot. Its been like that for years. I just want to ask him how he hasn't got any more creative in the past 5 years. Also to give him a slap and tell him to stop ******* ruining all the local area with his crap.

Proven? Agreed it looks likely but, yeah.

As regards contemporary art (American abstract expressionism apparently) I can't say I get why if my Mark Rothko was real it would be 50 million quid or so

I can't say I get why if my Mark Rothko was real

Clearly fake it says Ark Rothko
