I like Banksy's material and think he's clever and original, but I don't understand why people will pay millions for Van Gogh or Cezanne or Matisse or Picasso. I don't rate them at all. The difference is Van Gogh, Cezanne, Matisse and Picasso will never know the appreciation of their work. Banksy hopefully does whether it's art or graffiti. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonab 1,642 Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 The thing with Banksy is that he is too real a reflection on life. His visions of the British parliament are irreproachable. Here is one example: https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/banksy-devolved-parliament-comes-to-london Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 5,607 Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Wonder when the bike seat will turn up on eBay? It was still attached to the bike 1st thing Thursday morning & it was gone by 11am In Banksy Instagram endorsement the postbox was included, this was the postbox reported overflowing with covid testing kits? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-54434384 Bike lock, lockdown?

radfordred 5,607 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 I think the owner of the building is just protecting his assets, the wall will most problerly be removed & sold along with the bike, the Banksy artwork on the garage in Port Talbot sold for six figure sum there was a new bike there this morning. https://metro.co.uk/2019/05/29/banksy-mural-gets-new-home-sold-art-collector-100000-9727501/ https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/jan/18/banksy-artwork-garage-wales-sold-six-figure-sum#:~:text=A Banksy artwork that appeared,least for the time being.

Brew 4,318 Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 I actually prefer that to Banksy. To say it's all done with a rattle can there's some serious skill and talent gone into it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 9,060 Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 I agree that kind of 'graffiti' requires skill and ability and I don't have any problem with it - although I'd still prefer Banksy to the subway stuff. The so-called graffiti I can't stand is the 'tagging' which ruins any blank wall or space anywhere in the city. It's impossible to find a wall or fence which hasn't been ruined by someone thinking they need to put their signature on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 8,798 Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 That’s nice. I didn’t even know there was a subway there, I’ve always been too busy looking at the traffic to take notice of what’s on the pavement or under the road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
