Largely agree,though I do like Banksy's work and also found the street art of the East Side Gallery in Berlin genuinely very impressive.

I would say it means that piece of wall is worth several hundred thousand pounds more than it was before . Is it definitely a real Banksy? I have not seen any of his before where he has blended the filled-in graffiti / stencilled style with something cruder.

Forgive me if I'm being presumptive, but don't you live in the Netherlands Peter. I thought they are a sexy, peace loving lot...

Banksy did one of his pieces on an arcade in Folkestone of an old granny looking at an empty plinth. Within 24 hours a local lad sprayed over the top of the plinth to make it look like a nob. One piece of graffiti improved by another I guess. That truly is the art of the working class

I really don't get the whole Banksy thing at all tbh. If you ignore the fact that yes, it is vandalism, he also uses stencils supposedly? I mean fucking stencils? Those things that you give to babies to help them colour in with crayons. I could do bloody stencils on a wall with a car spray paint can. What makes this bloke such an enigma?
What's more, the irony of the whole thing, the guy supposedly covered up one of the best 'graffiti pieces' in London which was done by hand. I don't really know much about it, but I remember reading about it on the Internet. Some really old graffiti piece that was done by hand, he just strolled up and covered with one of his shitty stencil jobs.
The guys a fucking plank. He needs to give it a rest.

I agree about the whole stencil thing, it can't be hard to cut out stencils and spray. I've drawn for years and take several days drawing each piece which is what I enjoy, but I wouldn't draw it on the the side of some building, plus I'd be there for a couple of days which wouldn't work out well for me.

On the other hand I could argue that all you've done there is draw a picture of a horse, albeit a very nice picture which obviously requires a degree of skill. But there aren't really any ideas behind it. The stencil is a means to an end, and let's not forget that the artist has to create the stencil in the first place. There is a graffiti festival on the high street where I live in Bristol, you can go and watch the street art as it is created and there is actually quite a lot of different techniques used with the stencils, it's not just filling in the gaps solidly. We have murals on the walls and shutters of shops round my way and I think that is the beauty of street art in that it is there for everyone to see without having to go to a gallery - some of it is great, some not so, but none of it is wanky tags which is indeed basically vandalism.

Banksy likes to subvert existing tropes and cliches Here a child-like drawing is subverted by a child playing hoop and stick, a nostalgic piece of Victorianna symbolizing the idolisation and fetishisation of a childhood innocence that never existed, by replacing the hoop with a burning tyre - this may be to symbolise the burning issues of climate change and political unrest - is this a call for revolution, a motivation to children to recognise the power they have to make a change or that the world is politicised and politics is inescapable? That even they now sre involved? To be dismissed as non-art is to miss the point entirely Through the subversion of both graffiti and the art world Banksy seems to speak a truth that extends beyond art and politics and beyond the usual inhabitants of these landscapes to the real people in the street. He gifts these works of art to causes he believes deserve to benefit financially, aesthetically and spiritually. It's like Damian Hirst donating his art for free to a school or social group. His artwork is both accessible and benevolent. It may not be everyone's cup of tea and cynics may dismiss this as a stunt to drum up business but Banksy chooses not to play the art world game and seeks to create debate and reaction to the everyday and mundane that we are fed by a visual obsessed media culture in order to challenge these stagnant perspectives. He, or they as a collective, are true outlaw artists giving to the poor and needy, operating outside of the pre-existing art-world-financial-game and I for one applaud them and hope they continue to inspire, challenge and subvert, to make art and free-thinking accessible to the masses and make the world a better place - this is a 21st century public information film More here: banksy.co.uk/

It's interesting but it doesn't break new ground. Prefer the statement he made ]At least here he is drawing attention to the apartheid that exists in Israel His earlier work is iconic

Pure Saturnalia with the rings of sat hoop and stick imagery... {un} liberally suffused/programmed with the current paedo schtick... Fucking infuriating end of times cabalistic propoganda... Banksy = MI5 = Tavistock = Fabienfuckwits = Massive Attack = Iraq W soundtrack = Alice in Wonderbra....
I've met Banksy: He doesn't exist... pick up a stencil/marketing ploy/guerilla shillls... Fractal mythos...
etcetera Ra... 'Rising Son' pathetique.... 'Christian Sands'.... Ha ha...ha... Happy Xbox...
