artist? merchant?

The film was purely for Banksy, not only for his graffiti, but also for his mystery. His paintings have been moped countless times. I thought I could watch Banksy in this movie, hahahaha. . . too naive! But seeing the painting process of many favorite graffiti artists is really thrilling and exciting!

For Terry, I would like to say a few words. Terry, who accidentally stepped into the graffiti art circle, is really super lucky. I don't mean that he was lucky enough to see such a high level of street art, and then suddenly raised his artistic attainments to a certain height, but He was fortunate enough to get to know those artists and get their trust to become friends, especially the mysterious and awesome Banksy, but he felt that Banksy felt that he had fallen into the pit dug by Terry. When it comes to Terry, I think he is more like a businessman than an artist. An artist should have his own unique artistic expression. Just like when it comes to pop art, you will naturally think of Andy Warhol, and Terry, he imitates too much! His prints, apart from the use of different colors, hardly feel any creative innovation beyond the previous ones. The only selling point is Banksy's blessing.

Almost all of the street artists in the film have distinct personal characteristics. Everyone expresses in their own unique way, expressing the society in their eyes, expressing truth, goodness and beauty, and expressing joy, anger, sadness, and joy. I think this is how art should be. Good art should allow people to experience different levels, and Terry's work, when I first saw it, I thought of all artists.
