Banksy

Well, I don´t know much about a painter as an art expert, and talk about Dalí, Picasso or any famous painter, it would be a cliché. So, I going to write about a important figure in street art: Banksy.

This guy is famous in stencil style, that is about paint in streets or walls using a template or "stencil". About this guy, nobody knows anything about where he studied, where he lives or his true name. Some people says that his real name is Robin Banks, but this could be a joke trying to say "robbin (or stealing) banks".

Out of this information, no really important, his work is something amazing. With his works he makes lots of critics to authorities, the society, multinational companies, militar actions, etc. He always act hidden, and sometimes he breaks private properties to make controversial pictures. I like so much a character that he sometimes paints: one or lots of rats. Rats sometimes say or do something forbidden or funny, but always with a clear intention. So, the style, contents and the way how he acts, are the things that I most like of Banksy.

There is a painting that he made, that I like for the place where he did it, and for what it represents. Is about a painting on Wall of Gaza that shows two childs painting a hole in the wall. From the other side, you can see a beautiful landscape. So, you have to make your own conclusions.
