Discourse - Banksy

Banksy is a British graffiti artist with an anonymous identity. His artwork is influence around politics, ethnic and culture, which is portrayed around the public streets of Britain. His work has been a subject to criticism from the public as well as being in the news about the messages he puts in his work as well as the vandalism of public property, however, many people admire his work because they feel that they can relate to what his views are about and that they respect the fact that he has his way of communicating to a wide demographic that others can’t. He tends to use stencils that range from fairly small sizes to really huge portions that are able to catch the eyes of the public. In addition, he doesn’t only stencil on street walls or pavements but he has somehow been able to stencil on a cow and replace a painting in a gallery with his own duplicate but adding his political views. In addition, he has his work abroad such as in the streets of America, France and etc, I think in countries that have political issues that his opinion really matters to him most.
