Charlie Jennings Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Hi. I have just got into Banksy's graffiti. I went to London today and only saw 2 small rats. If anyone knows were some of the big ones are. Please post it here. If you are unaware of who banksy is. go to his site: www.banksy.co.ukHe is basically a graffiti artist but he is awesome. the things he does is insane.Anyway. Post. Google map links. Pictures or anything you want. i just wanted to know were some big ones are and whether there still there.ThanksCharlie Jennings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew_Gibson Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Art or Graffiti?Kinda a hard one really. I'd say art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Art.... all his pictures prove a point. He doesn't aim to acheive fame or money, just to prove a political point or a statment, which is accessible to the poor and the rich from all cultures, without having to stand in a pompus art gallery alongside "a cup of water on a perspex glass ledge" no shit! things like that are in the modern.... he proves his point in a uniquie and individual way!

LOVITCouldn't have put it better, its not very flashy or colourful (I'm not doubting his ability to piece) but he has amazing ideas and really does take the piss. Legend.

RR_Trials Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 (edited) I have a huge banksy canvas print on my wall above my computer. LUSH!http://www.briansewell.com/artist/b-artist...t-revealed.html..aprently? Edited November 3, 2007 by RR_Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Jennings Posted November 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 (edited) http://www.briansewell.com/artist/b-artist...t-revealed.htmlI highly doubt that this is him. Im thinking of doing some work similar to his on my bedroom wall.Also. This Topic has appeared to gone down well?Bansky's work is Art. If he has done it on your building take it as a compliment. DONT SCRUB IT OFF... pleaseBansky is a legend and when he writes/paints on walls it is for a reason. Graffiti has been given a bad name thanks to the chavs that write there names on the local spar wall. This is not graffiti this is art.thats enough for now Sorry it weren't enough. I think graffiti is an art.People do good art, People do bad art.Most Graffiti is an example of bad art. Bansky's graffiti is good art.
