"One original thought is worth a thousand mindless quotings."
A mythical figure in the graffiti scene, Banksy is identified as a modern-day troubadour. No social phenomenon can withstand the incisive and hair-raising work of this artist, who constantly makes statements. The capacity of his work to provoke, shock, even disrupt society is what makes it important. Despite his ability to break the rules, he remains to this day a real mystery since his true identity has never been revealed. An anti-war philanthropist and revolutionary, the artist uses his work as a means of communication to announce his dissatisfaction with certain social phenomena, political situations, or decisions taken by world leaders. His art mixes irreverence and humor, often carrying clear messages which should not be taken at face value.
