BANKSY

Banksy é o pseudónimo dun artista británico dos graffiti. Crese que naceu en Bristol, UK, pero descoñécese a súa identidade. O seu traballo consiste fundamentalmente en debuxos feitos con plantillas ou stencils, segundo a súa propia testemuña para pintar rápido nos muros, sen que o pillen, xa que esta actividade como seguramente sabedes é ilegal. Traballa moito en series, sobre arte, sobre ratas, sobre o muro de Palestina...As mensaxes que transmite son moi críticas co sistema político e económico que temos e sobre nós mesmos, aquí van algunhas e algúns dos seus pensamentos.

"A lot of people never use their inititaive because no-one told them to"

"People who should be shot: fascist thugs, religious fundamentalists and people who write lists telling you who should be shot"

"Sometimes I feel so sick at the state of the world, I can't even finish my second apple pie"

"People who enjoy waving flags don't deserve to have one"

" We can't do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves"

SERIE DE ARTE E MUSEOS

Sobre o cadro nenúfares de Monet,

"Only when the last tree has been cut down and the last river has dried to a trickle will man finally realise that they cannot eat money, and reciting old proverbs makes you sound like a twat"
