Artistic genius, political activist, painter and decorator, mythic legend or notorious graffiti artist? The work of Banksy is unmistakable, except could be when it’s squatting in the Tate or Big Apple’s urban Museum. Banksy is in charge of decorating the streets, walls, bridges and zoos of cities and cites throughout the world. Smart and subversive, his stencils show monkeys with weapons of mass elimination, policeman with smiley faces, rats with drills, and umbrellas. If you look closely enough youwill find your own. His statements, incitements, ironies and epigrams are by turns perceptive and cheeky comments on everything from the monarchy and capitalism to the conflict in Iraq and farm animals. His identity remains unknown, but his work is fertile. And now for the 1st time, he’s’s putting together the best of his work new and old in an entirely illustrated color volume.
