Artistic genius, political activist, painter & decorator, mythic legend or notorious graffiti artist? The work of Banksy is unmistakable, except maybe when it`s squatting in the Tate or New York`s Metropolitan Museum. Banksy is responsible for decorating the streets, walls, bridges & zoos of towns & cites throughout the world. Witty & subversive, his stencils show monkeys with weapons of mass destruction, policeman with smiley faces, rats with drills & umbrellas. If you look hard enough, you`ll find your own. His statements, incitements, ironies & epigrams are by turns intelligent & cheeky comments on everything from the monarchy & capitalism to the war in Iraq & farm animals. His identity remains unknown, but his work is prolific. Here`s the best of his work in a fully illustrated colour volume
- including brand material.
