Banksy

So what is Banksy?

Banksy isn't a what, he's a who. Banksy is a graffiti artist who produces very spectacular art. For those of you who visit this site looking for web accessibility, please bear in mind his site is designed specifically as a visual medium. You have been warned.

But isn't Graffiti vandalism?

Hmm. Well, I know where you're coming from, but it is good, so er... Banksy! Banksy! Is graffiti art or vandalism?

That word has a lot of negative connotations and it alienates people, so no, I don't like to use the word 'art' at all.

There you go. That's cleared up

Banksy, Banksy. Haven't I heard of him somewhere before?

Probably. This is the man who has exhibited at the Tate without of course the Tate being aware of it. He's provided a list of cuttings of his exploits for you to enjoy. And a wide selection of his art is also available on his website. Enjoy.
