Banksy C/D

back when he was still good bungly would have placed a text to be revealed behind the painting being destroyed viz: "the shredder is capitalism DO YOU SEE and so is the shredder not working properly DO YOU ALSO SEE"

if he had got his NVQ level II diploma in trenchant social commentary he wouldn't do stuff like that. but trust fund brats don't need college when are born with Street Knowledge!

I'm struggling to think of undiluted instances of anti-capitalist art aimed at a mass audience.

all Art is anti-capitalist DO YOU SEE?

i now have "Banky" to the tune of "Mumfie" stuck in my head

We did and he is.

im béyonky

our very own D4n L4c3Y's brilliant pancake work is so cheap it's basically anti-capitalist amirite?

unfinished shred funny

i like all the post-its on the pancakes, each no doubt with its own trenchant motto

if this was a parody of a Bansky piece it would actually be funny as fuck!

i still maintain there was for a while something new and interesting in london about graffiti that was so undistortedly figurative: actually there's a kind of hauntology to it lol, this ever-so-slightly impressionist black-and-white photorealism that reminds you of the illustrations in ladybird books or look and learn, a bygone style redolent of a vanished political dream project -- there alongside the scribbles of tagging and jazzily high-colour stylised cartoon murals and of course half-torn-down billboards in semi-rundown city areas on the sides of yet-to-be developed properties. it wasn't deep especially, but it was a nice surprise -- a tiny little free oasis of cultural joy at the time. but the context and the serendipity were fun

a bit like the project someone undertook for a while of painting potatoes various colours and sticking cocktail sticks in them so they wouldn't roll off, and throwing them up onto the roofs of bus-stops. that was nice too, because you only saw them as you were gazing round idly on the top floor of a bus and it was like a weird little present just for you

but he got bored and hence boring years back -- like a lot of batch craftspeople never found a way out of his first hit run, really

I think I could go for a Filet o' Fish

That's Robert Del Naja, no?

he's wearing coloured contact lenses if it is

Also, he's described as a "young man"... Del Naja was 38 in 2003.

"Banksy’s people were unimpressed.."

he's so damn hip and from the streets that he doesn't have a PR team or whatever famous ppl usually have .. he has "his people".

another fucking waste of an expensive public school education.

His manager Holly is Peter Cushing’s niece.

Let's settle this

Let's settle this once and for all, what is the true identity of #Banksy - I mean obviously it's #NigelRees

Massive Attack played a show in DC same day

makes u think

Wow never thought banksy would actually kill to protect his secret, a chilling development

Funny, I never thought banksy had anything worthwhile to share with the world, including their real name.

he's done it again
