"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."

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.
