Banksy Banksy

Banksys’ life• Banksy was born in Bristol, England in 1974 and he apparently started

his career at 14.• He displays his works of art on public surfaces and is known for his

contempt in the government on labeling graffiti as vandalism though most of his work has been exhibited in some of the most famous galleries around the world.

• Banksy mainly uses stencils to create his works of art, that cant be easily fitted into one specific category.

• When trying to create stencil graffiti you may use paper, cardboard or other things of that source to create a picture or writing that can be easily reproduced.

• People say that Banksys’ work is very similar to Blek le Rats’ work. • Banksy says, “I use whatever it takes. Sometimes that just means

drawing a mustache on a girls face on some billboard, sometimes that means sweating for days over an intricate drawing. Efficiency is the key.”
