No artist can be so free and unrestrained like Banksy. Those damn laws, rules, and morals should not limit the thinking of such an artist. It's hard to imagine that the starting point of an artist's creation is not for money or for becoming a celebrity. The sensible policemen first chased Banksy, and of course the irrational Los Angeles native Thierry Gutta.
Those thought-provoking graffiti, statues, broken phone booths, humorous paintings, and seemingly horrible behaviors gradually attracted people’s attention, but I never showed up. No one knows his surname or name, but only knows that he stays. Banksy on the wall. Banksy is not afraid of police arrests. The most important purpose is to convey what he wants to express to people, not to let everyone know about Banksy. Despite what Wikipedia said about him, Banksy is a sissy, liar and damn bastard. The British media said his work is "terrorist art". But who cares?
The mice in Banksy are like his support team. In a sense, he and mice are the same animals. They have the same activity time. As street artists, they only work in the middle of the night. The most important thing is that Banksy has The rat's tenacity just to live, even if he is arrested by the police, even if he is complained, even if the graffiti is erased again and again, he still insists on continuing the unique street art.
The first time I saw this orangutan in the picture, it shocked me. Humans seemed to be extinct soon, and it was the orangutans that replaced humans, just like the movie "Rise of the Apes". Or in another sense, now that we are not as strong as people, you can laugh at us as much as you want, but one day we will make you regret your actions today.
The lifespan of street art works is extremely short. It is very important to record these classic works. Although the graffiti is the same, you can also do the same graffiti, but the wall will not be the same, and the effect will be greatly reduced. Thierry Gutta, a Los Angeles native, set out to do this, recording with a video recorder. Later all these videos were edited into a documentary "The Talent Outside the Gallery", which was also directed by Banksy.
The graffiti that no one cared about and was even spurned, now appeared in auctions at a high price; the artist once wanted by the police now appeared on the cover of "TIME" wearing a shopping bag. Despite this, no one knows about Banksy. Perhaps this is why Banksy has been criticizing the ugliness of this society. Banksy was great because he didn't take the world seriously, and he didn't take himself seriously.
When we see these creations, we don’t actually need to know Banksy, do we?
"The era of making visibility for you (name itself) is over. If you make an artwork just to be famous, it will always be impossible to be famous. Reputation comes with what you express. You never Because you need to defecate, so go to the restaurant to order a meal and eat."-Banksy's personal WeChat public account
