It is not uncommon for even the most famous pieces of street art to be painted over by council contractors or the owners of the buildings on which they were painted. Even so this street art has risen in popularity and the public consciousness greatly in recent years and this is greatly, although not solely, due to the elusive guerrilla artist known as Banksy. banksy artwork Most of the Banksy canvas art depicts the harsh realities of life but in a humorous and poignant manner. Take for example, the painting depicting an angel mourning the death of a street artist and wearing a vest of bullet-proof materials. Or consider the painting of the ethnic maid who is sweeping the trash underneath a white drape. These paintings show the social reality of racism, social class divides, poverty, corruption and a whole lot of other issues, which plague society today. Banksy remains an elusive yet pervasive figure in the art scene of London. In an art world where every artist is struggling to get a share of the limelight, Banksy prefers anonymity. He chooses to leave his mark through his art, creating public awareness about crucial subjects and leaving more of an impression than his other 'popular' counterparts. Banksy canvas art defies all conventional, traditional norms of art and instead chooses to make society think. In effect, this is what art is truly supposed to do and Banksy accomplishes this objective like no other artist. His paintings do not invoke the conventional reverential exclamations. Rather, they challenge societal norms and attitudes and do a great job of questioning the way we live. Through these paintings, any passer-by gets to see the cultural flavour of an entire neighbourhood, the newest masterpiece by the artist himself and much more! banksy art Banksy canvas art chooses subjects which are drawn from real life and society as a whole. Almost all of his works are a satirical take on society, its politics, corruption, hypocrisy etc. Banksy uses different things and people as the subjects of his works. His subjects are broad-ranging from animals like rats, monkeys to people like older children etc. This is one of the aspects, which make Banksy canvas art so much more appealing. His subjects are not some lady or man of the Edwardian era or an elite lady belonging to aristocracy. Instead, his subjects are the ordinary people who make more of a difference to society than the people from the upper strata. Bansky graffiti may gain popularity with the general public but local authorities are often averse to having overtly political art work on their streets and attempt to remove any new paintings. Whilst it's understandable, if not mercenary, for people to be removing Banksy Art, I take more exception with those who chase their fifteen seconds of fame by defacing his stencils. A recent example of this was a piece of Banksy Graffiti that the he painted in New Orleans to commemorate the devastation of Hurricane Katrina (and perhaps a timely reminder of the lack of response from the Government just before the national election!). One of the stencils was of a boy swinging on a lifesaver and this has now been blotted out with red paint. You could perhaps understand a kid doing this, but given the placement and height of the Graffiti, it would seem to be someone more 'mature'. I suppose by defacing a piece of art, they know it will be reported and ergo they have their little piece of infamy. The same thing happened in London earlier this year when two of the more prominent pieces were destroyed within days; part roller-painted out, with the words "All the best" painted over them. There is speculation by Banksy Posters on forums that this was actually done by the Artist himself, in answer to the wholesale removal of his public works that were placed on eBay at extortionate prices. Visitors queued for six hours to enter the exhibition and the acceleration in Banksy's popularity shows no signs of slowing down. (Comment on this)
