ENGLAND - STREET ART

Bansky
He was born in 1974 in the UK, he makes street art and graffitis.
In 2009 a gallery was dedicated to him at Bristol Museum with more than 100 works. In 12 weeks he had over 300,000 visitors.
He sends messages in his paintings by mixing it with humor.
He often puts people of justice (such as police and soldiers) or animals (such as rats and monkeys) or civilians (children, elderly and famous) into provocative attitudes. he is against the soldiers because he prefers peace.

Banksy made a drawing which shows two policemen kissing



It means that homosexuals can live together.

In August 2005, Banksy painted nine images with a child digging in a wall on which is placed a ladder to reach the other side of the separation barrier in Israel

He placed an actual size doll at Disneyland that wore the uniform of a prison camp to represent Guantanamo prisoners who are being tortured and no longer have rights, and to denounce the abuses they suffer .




In 2014 he painted on a wall in Clacton, a work depicting pigeons addressing a swallow with placards on which it was written: "The migrants are not welcome, go back to Africa”. People thought it was racist but it pointed out that people really were the racist ones. It was in fact an anti-racist message but people misunderstood it.


Some of his works were auctioned like "keep it spotless", sold 1.23 million euro in 2008 and the Rude Lord sold 463,000 euro in 2007.
