Banksy Is A Public School Man
One with a publicity agent but no mother - according to his mother that is. She should know, shouldn't she?

 

Banksy Tells Us About Parliament  [ 5 October 2019 ]

 

We do care, don't we?

 

Tidying up

 

A father(?) paints

 

Armed police are dangerous

 

The ugly new reality of our times

 

Rural poverty and graffiti are an ugly mixture

 

A father(?) paints again

 

 

Aircraft and tanks are the weapons of tyrants. Rifles and pistols are for the rest of us.


Surrealism is art too.


Could this be reverse surrealism?




The Fall of Man involved an Apple.



Feed the World! Give him honest work to do.



Give them sneakers. I think Banksy has allowed himself to be a bit Americanized.


You're nicked. Crucifixion later.


Your knickers aren't supposed to show.




Banksy does not approve of Her Majesty.



Banksy does not admire Old Mother Tesco either. I'll drink to that.



Roller Rat hints at his technique.



Banksy understands the art industry as well as art.


There is always hope. Banksy might even have girls of his own.



He hasn't seen many gun shot wounds.



Surveillance is what apparatchiks do to their enemies. We are the enemy.



The blue pointed hat mob are dangerous too.



Surely Banksy is not making snide points about our ethnic brethren and sistren.



Cars do get in everywhere. It is people who are the problem.



Surveillance was huge in 1984, Orwell's book. Now it is for real.



The girl is on the right lines. It is called Revolutionary Consciousness, isn't it?



This chopper shows it its lineage. The Russian Hind looked impressive.




The media has its priorities too.

A rat has to make a living too.

 

The great man has been to Centre Point.

 

American exports fun and death.

 

Big Brother is watching you

 

 

 

Surely Banksy does not hate our duly elected representatives and their well deserved freebies.

 

Cleaning up.

 

GITMO has done things for America's reputation.

 

Can you help? Would you help? Should you help?

 

This is an installation in the jargon of the art racket.

 

A rat with poison.

 

Praying.

 

Smiling coppers; armed coppers.

 

We do water the plant that makes the television grow.

 

Nature and man do their things.

 

An awkward moment.

 

We all care about the environment, don't we?

 

Guards  have their moments.

 

How did he do it?

 

Unknown hooded.

 

Banksy makes his point. I am not quite sure what it is though.

 

Banksy's Tunnel Is A Free Graffiti Zone

 

He did this as a thank you for a band whose name he took by accident.

 

More at his web site - Banksy

Banksy does some explaining too. When he was doing his work he was interrupted by an Israeli thug and then a Palestinian. The following exchanges ensued:-

Soldier: What the fuck are you doing?

Me: You'll have to wait 'til it's finished

Soldier (to colleagues): Safety's [ sic ] off

Old man: You paint the wall, you make it look beautiful.

Me: Thanks

Old man: We don't want it to be beautiful, we hate this wall, go home.

His web site is at Banksy
Everything in his shop is free - Is he trying to destroy capitalism?

 

Berlin Wall? West Wall!

A dove wears armour. Better bullet proof than dead.

 

Catapaults versus rifles. They have nothing else but courage and despair.


Tow away zone.



A view from slightly further back.


A cherub not Jesus.


Not a Banksy but he is on the same lines.

 

This is not Palestine but I couldn't resist it.

 

Banksy Thanks The NHS In Southampton   [ 7 May 2020 ]
QUOTE
A new creation by mysterious street artist Bansky has appeared at Southampton general hospital, paying tribute to NHS staff during the coronavirus pandemic.

Titled 'Game Changer,' the latest offered from the world renowned artist is almost a fully monochrome painting, depicting a young boy playing with toys.

As ever with the world of Banksy, a thought-provoking twist is added.

UNQUOTE
This is a nice picture, much more detailed than Banksy's usual cartoons. And yes, there is a message in it.
