*who is banksy? know one knows.
Well, except Banksy. The rest of know him as "Banksy", which is his alias. He is a stencil/graffiti artist and poet from England who has painted the walls of Bristol with works that are humorous, political, and undaunted. He has self-published several books, and has sold his art for many thousands of dollars per piece, yet he himself is unknown, which is a wonderful contrast to his highly visible and accessible artworks. You can see him at work in this video of him spray-painting a wall between the Palentine/Isreal border...although, it is filmed with his identity hidden.
He seems to commonly paints rats...many times it seems like he is the rat in his images.
“Has
Banksy sold out?
That depends on what he does with the money.”
