BANKSY

Banksy is a pseudonymous England based graffiti artist, political activist, film director and painter.

His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine irreverent dark humour with graffiti done in a distinctive stencilling technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world. Observers have noted that his style is similar to Blek le Rat, who began to work with stencils in 1981 in Paris and members of the anarcho-punk band Crass, which maintained a graffiti stencil campaign on the London Tube System in the late 1970s and early 1980s and is active today. - Wikipedia.

 The piece of Banksy's work that is featured above, i've focused on within my work, as you can see there's some very thought provoking text featured on this piece of work. This is significant as all celebrities lives are under what you can call 'CCTV', they live under a magnify glass and every single thing they do, everyone else instantly finds out about it. I have recreated this piece by using a stencil but instead of using spray paint i used brusho paints instead.
