Amazon Banksy Street Graffiti Canvas Wall Art Monopoly Man Fashion Banksy is a pseudonymous england based street artist, political activist, and film director. he has never publicly confirmed his identity. active since the 1990s, his satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stencilling technique. his works of political and social commentary have appeared on streets, walls, and bridges throughout. Banksy’s critique of capitalism and consumerism is a key theme he explores and revisits throughout his career. Like some other significant populist figures du jour, banksy’s claim to being “the peoples’ artist” doesn’t quite fit a man whose avowedly anticapitalist artworks are frequently sold by the art world’s wealthiest, most storied and conventionally aristocratic auction houses (christie’s; sotheby’s) for tens of millions of dollars. This incident could become a parable on the impossibility of being anti capitalist. banksy won fame by playfully spreading a subversive — though ultimately fairly mundane — message against war, profits and those with power.
