Banksy

Bansky, a British graffiti artist, political activist and film director, is one of the most famous and yet anonymous art figures of our generation. His iconic and controversial stencils have conquered both the urban street and the art saleroom scenes around the world. Banksy’s rejection of capitalism and authority, accompanied by his headline-grabbing viral stunts meant to destabilize the fundamentals of ‘The Establishment’, has not spared his art from being commoditized. The artist’s most recognizable and sought-after paintings and prints are inspired by his earliest graffiti art, featuring a recurrent cast of animal and generic human characters such as chimps, rats, policemen and children.

Banksy is currently one of the most desirable artists in the art market, continuously breaking records in major auction houses.
