Banksy is a pseudonymous British graffiti artist. He is believed to be born near Bristol (and I personaly love Bristol...mmh…The Skins?) and to have been born in 1974, but his identity is unknown. He trained as a butcher but became involved in graffiti during the great Bristol aerosol boom of the late 1980s.
His artworks are often satirical pieces of art on topics such as politics, culture, and ethics. His street art, which combines graffiti writing with a distinctive stencilling technique, is similar to Blek le Rat, who began to work with stencils in 1981 in Paris and members of the anarcho-punk band Crass who maintained a graffiti stencil campaign on the London Tube System in the late 1970s and early 1980s. His art has appeared in cities around the world. Banksy's work was born out of the Bristol underground scene which involved collaborations between artists and musicians.
I quite like his works.. Good ideas and nice illusions on the british walls ..
