Product description

Review

Since spotting my first few Banksies I have been desperately seeking out more. When I do come across them, surreptitiously peeping out of an alley or boldly emblazoned on a wall, I find it hard to contain myself... they make me smile and feel optimistic about the possibilities of shared dreams and common ownership. ― Simon Hattenstone, Guardian

Banksy

Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Banksy is an England-based graffiti artist, political activist and film director of unverified identity. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique. His works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world. Banksy's work grew out of the Bristol underground scene, which involved collaborations between artists and musicians. Observers have noted that his style is similar to Blek le Rat, who began to work with stencils in 1981 in Paris. Banksy says that he was inspired by "3D", a graffiti artist who later became a founding member of Massive Attack, an English musical group.

Banksy displays his art on publicly visible surfaces such as walls and self-built physical prop pieces. Banksy does not sell photographs or reproductions of his street graffiti, but art auctioneers have been known to attempt to sell his street art on location and leave the problem of its removal in the hands of the winning bidder. Banksy's first film, Exit Through the Gift Shop, billed as "the world's first street art disaster movie", made its debut at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. The film was released in the UK on 5 March 2010. In January 2011, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary for the film. In 2014, he was awarded Person of the Year at the 2014 Webby Awards.

Prolific artist on the page

Following the unofficial Manchester exhibition of Banksy's work, couldn't resist this entertaining book for son's birthday.

Art for the people

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 February 2008

Verified Purchase

Don't get me started on this, but...

If there's one thing guaranteed to get under my skin, then it's the way art has been hijacked by a few artists, exhibitors and buyers and transformed into a variant of the idiotic high fashion market, where only the happy few who are up to date with new lines of thought know what on Earth is going on. When Britain's only well-known artistic prize can be won by an empty room with a light bulb going on and off then the proverbial man in the street may feel that art, which surely should be for us all, has become elitist and irrelevant.

And so along comes Banksy, with art for the literal man in the street. Maybe it's that I collect super-hero comics, but I just love the whole secret identity thing. In a culture that is so sated with the idea of celebrity, here's an artist who doesn't want to be recognised so that he can be free to get on with his work. How refreshing is that?

But more, I love the work. Witty, thought provoking and, when at its best, as when pictures are painted on the wall the separates the Palestinians from Israel, they're downright powerful. (And to Banksy's great credit, he includes a brief conversation with an old Palestinian man which argues persuasively against creating art on the wall).

Don't be fooled by the low price, it's a big book with hundreds of pictures. And don't pay attention to the couple of reviewers who complain about the quality of the printing. Honestly, I don't know what they're on about. It's fine.

Highly recommended.

Amazing

Very enjoyable look at Banksy's work

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 July 2012

Verified Purchase

This is a hugely enjoyable look at Banksy's work. In addition to a massive number of photographs of his creations there are some interesting background notes and comments from Banksy himself, giving some works a whole new meaning. Naturally some of this is used as a soapbox as you would expect from any creative or artistic type but does not distract from the quality of the content. There are so many Banksy works in this book I have never seen before which for me was the real delight in this book. One of the few books I've got that has been on almost permanent loan to friends as it is shared around, it really is that engaging and in places very, very funny.

In summary this is all you could wish for in a book looking at Banksy's art. It will also easily convert anyone who thinks Banksy's art is "just graffiti".

Much thought-provoking

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 December 2009

Verified Purchase

This is a good introductory book to enter into the world of one of the most famous contemporary art individual brands of the last decade.

The book is mostly made of pictures of works completed on walls in public spaces, although some works are more intimate, like the interventions on iconic works of art.

There is little text, but it is very illuminating non the less, and both provocative and thought-provoking. An excellent read to stimulate one's own consciousness of our world and our ability to think critically.

Some pictures are commented in more detail than others, which might leave the reader desperate for the artist's explanation on a work which has no accompanying text with it.

An excellent source for examples of applied and relevant creativity.

This book should appeal to the widest audience, even readers who are not into contemporary art in the first place.

A better read than War & Peace

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 December 2014

Verified Purchase

Ever the Enigma I sought to find out more about the artist known as Banksy, and who better to find this information from than Banksy himself. This is one of the only official sources directly from Banksy and its just a privileged to find out more of his background. The actual book itself is a fine collection of almost every piece of his pre-2005 works with added anecdotes from the man (or woman) himself, if you're looking for something with his more up to date works you'll have to seek it from the unofficial sources as he hasn't published anything subsequently other than the film "Exit Through The Gift Shop" in 2010. All in all anybody either interested in art or the Artist that is Banksy this collection comes highly recommend from me.
