The storytelling that takes place in both Banksy's visual and written works are concise, yet provocative and complete. One of his works focuses on "defacing corporate advertising" to communicate the message that our society is too commercial. Another of his works is more visually based, depicting a little girl clutching a bomb that looks live a cuddly stuffed animal. Some other of Banksy's messages are lighter in tone, such as the prose in the Penquin coop at the London Zoo — "We're bored of fish."
“Is graffiti art or vandalism?
That word has a lot of negative connotations and it alienates people, so
no, I don't like to use the word 'art' at all.”
—Banksy
