Banksy Masterpiece

Where is Banksy?

It's been over 2 years since we last saw a Banksy print release, with that being 'choose your weapon' in December 2010. We were then enticed with the promise of a March 2012 release of his gorilla print which never happened. This was rumoured to be due to problems with the glitter finish of the gorillas mask, but nearly 2 years later still no gorilla. Flippers and queue jumpers were then hoping for an early christmas present, spending the night in sub zero temperatures queuing for a saturday morning release at POW. But still no new Banksy print! So where is Banksy?


Artist or Vandal?

Banksy the self dubbed Art Terrorist from Bristol has been called both an artist and a vandal, and many debates have taken place over the question "Is it Art or vandalism?"

 

Urban Legend?

Banksy Urban legend?, with his identity shrouded in darkness. There have been only a handful of photos alledging to be him but none have been confirmed. Due to the shroud of secrecy surrounding his real identity and his subversive character, banksy has achieved a cult following.

    "If you have a statue in the city centre you could go past it every day on your way to school and never even notice it, right. But as soon as someone puts a traffic cone on its head, you've made your own sculpture."

    —Banksy, in The Independent
