Graffiti artist Banksy decorates streets,walls, bridges and zoos of towns and cities throughout the world.His identity remains unknown but his work is witty,subversive and prolific.Artistic genius,political activist, painter and decorator,mythic legend or notorious graffiti artist? The work of Banksy is unmistakable, except may be when it's squatting in the Tate or New York's Metropolitan Museum. Witty and subversive,his stencils show monkeys with weapons of mass destruction,policeman with smiley faces,rats with drills,and umbrellas.If you look hard enough you'll find your own.His statements, incitements,ironies and epigrams are by turns intelligent and cheeky comments on everything from the monarchy and capitalism to the war in Iraq and farm animals. 'Graffiti is not the lowest form of art. . . .There is no elitism or hype,it exhibits on some of the best walls a town has to offer,and nobody is put off by the price of admission.A wall has always been the best place to publish your work. The people who run our cities don't understand graffiti because they think nothing has the right to exist unless it makes a profit.But if you just value money then your opinion is worthless. They say graffiti frightens people and is symbolic of the decline in society,but graffiti is only dangerous in the mind of three types of people; politicians,advertising executives and graffiti writers. The people who truly deface neighbourhoods are the companies that scrawl their giant slogans across buildings and buses trying to make us feel inadequate unless we buy their stuff.They expect to be able to to shout their message in your face from every available surface but you're never allowed to answer back.Well,they started this fight and the wall is the weapon of choice to hit them back. Some people become cops because they want to make the world a better place.Some people become vandals because they want to make the world a better looking place.'

From the publisher

Banksy, Britain's now-legendary "guerilla" street artist, has painted the walls, streets, and bridges of towns and cities throughout the world. Not only did he smuggle his pieces into four of New York City's major art museums, he's also "hung" his work at London's Tate Gallery and adorned Israel's West Bank barrier with satirical images. Banksy's identity remains unknown, but his work is unmistakable--with prints selling for as much as $45,000.

Media reviews

“People look at an oil painting and admire the use of brushstrokes to convey meaning. People look at a graffiti painting and admire the use of a drainpipe to gain access.”
–Banksy

“Since spotting my first few Banksies I have been desperately seeking out more. They make me smile and feel optimistic about the possibilities of shared dreams and common ownership.”
–Simon Hattenstone, Guardian
