Banksy
I recently was told about a British artist by the name of Banksy. It is my understanding that no one knows the real identity of Banksy but there seems to be a great deal of speculation about it. Here is Wikipedia's summary:
Banksy is a well-known pseudo-anonymous[1] English graffiti artist. He is believed to be a native of Yate (near Bristol[1]) and born in 1974,[2] but there is substantial public uncertainty about his identity and personal and biographical details.[3] According to Tristan Manco, Banksy "was born in 1974 and raised in Bristol, England. The son of a photocopier engineer, he trained as a butcher but became involved in graffiti during the great Bristol aerosol boom of the late 1980s."[4] His artworks are often-satirical pieces of art that encompass topics such as politics, culture, and ethics. His street art, which combines graffiti with a distinctive stencilling technique, has appeared in London and in cities around the world.[5]
His work is interesting, irreverrant and unusual. Check it out by clicking here.
