Bambi Piece
Banksy
Grafitti art, in my opinion is truly under appreciated. Yesterday some of the group went on a quest to find several Banksy pieces throughout the Camden area.While there, I learned how to identify some of banksy’s work. One of the most notable features of his work, was that he was dedicated to creating pieces that were about making people think about social and political issues that surround them. His work is often described as protest art. Many people may not take into account the amount of preparation his pieces require and the detail that is within even his stencil pieces.
I believe that putting Banksy’s art work in a museum would defeat the intended purpose which is to create thought provoking pieces of social and political commentary in hopes to enact change. One of his pieces says “ If Graffiti changed anything it would be illegal” which seems to be a play off of the “if voting changed anything…” quote. People enact change, however Banksy’s artwork seems to be aiding in the discussion of world issues.
