BANKSY
Banksy is a English graffiti artist well known for his hidden identity. He does his art in the streets of cities all over the world. His motive is about finding places that are either damaged (e.g. concrete, marks on walls) and turning it into art or defacing something that already exist (signs, billboards, objects). He uses a free hand and distinctive stencilling technique in most of his works. Some of his art portrays political and social messages such as anti-war, peace, many of them humorous and witty. His art is done in a way to attract an audience and to get them to think about the message he is trying to get across. Many people dispise his work seeing him as nobody that disrepects their public space, however I see bansky an an important figure in the modern design world as he is famous yet doesn't personally sell or make a living from his own art. Instead, simply stamping his name on it and leaving it in the hands of the public to deal with.
