Banksy: Elusive Street Art Revolutionary

Banksy, whose exact birth date remains unknown, is a renowned street artist whose origins are traced back to the United Kingdom (UK). His works, often satirical and laced with political and social themes, are executed in a distinctive stenciling technique. Banksy's anonymous nature and refusal to operate within sociopolitical systems have made him a leading figure in the anarchist movement.

While his real identity is still a subject of much debate, the impact of Banksy's work is unquestionable. His pieces, thought-provoking and aesthetic, are often found on public surfaces such as walls and bridges. His notable artworks, including 'Girl with Balloon', 'Rat Race' and 'Morons', are critiques of war, capitalism, greed, and other societal features. This has established Banksy as a subversive, counter-cultural force, challenging the status quo and contributing significantly to the contemporary anarchist movement.

Quotes by Banksy

We can't do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves.
Some people become cops because they want to make the world a better place, some people become vandals because they want to make the world a better looking place.
You can win the rat race but you're still a rat.
The greatest crimes in the world are not committed by people breaking the rules. It's people who follow orders that drop bombs and massacre villages. As a precaution to ever committing major acts of evil it is our solemn duty never to do what we're told, this is the only way we can be sure.
People who should be shot: Fascist thugs, religious fundamentalists, people who write lists telling you who should be shot.
The art we look at is made by only a select few. A small group create, promote, purchase, exhibit and decide the success of art. Only a few hundred people in the world have any real say. When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.
