Banksy strikes again!

For those of you not familiar with the work of Banksy.

This is his latest stunt.

His website is worth a look anytime.

Slan,
D. :smiley:

Great stuff.

Of course, I like his rodents:

Best wishes,

He’s new to me.
Click the “indoors” link.
Mickey Mouse and Ronald McD with the napalmed girl is startling.
Many interesting juxtapositions, some more striking than others.
The security camera pole in the verdant glen for instance.

I’ve seen photos of his outdoor stuff. It’s unmistakeable in its signature style and concepts. Loved it every time, and wondered who the brilliant art subversive was. Now I know.

A metaphor for yer man, I wager:

Frequently asked questions

Is graffiti art or vandalism?

That word has a lot of negative connotations and it alienates people, so no, I don’t like to use the word ‘art’ at all.

Best wishes,

Perfect. :smiley:

My avatar is a Banksy creation.

His spokeswoman said he had tampered with the CDs in branches of HMV and Virgin as well as independent record stores.

He visited cities including Bristol, Brighton, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow and London, she added.

A spokesman for HMV said the chain had recovered seven CDs from two Brighton shops but was unaware that other locations were affected.

No customers had complained or returned a doctored version, he said.




A spokesman for Virgin Megastores said staff were searching for affected CDs but it was proving hard to find them all.

I smell a hoax.

Love the rats. Very skillful and talented. Great site.

Art should trigger something in us if it’s worth anything- and his work certainly does.

The napalm girl picture he did is wrong, IMHO. I think to use that photo, in that way. is to once again “dehumanize” her and the countless others who suffered in that horrible war.

Did I not see something a year or two ago about her, and that she did, in fact survive ? I’ve tried a search, but was unsuccessful.

Oh and the additions to the “hotel/motel” art were great.
