WHO IS
BANKSY?
Banksy is a
quasi-anonymous English graffiti artist.
According
to Tristan Manco, Banksy “was born in 1974 and raised in Bristol, England. The
son of a photocopier technician, he trained as a butcher but became involved in
graffiti during the great Bristol aerosol boom of the late 1980s.” His artworks
are often satirical pieces of art on topics such as politics, culture, and
ethics.
He’s gone
from a teenage tagger to a well-known artist making multi-million dollar art.
His style and message have, ironically, been wholeheartedly embraced by the
very type of people he mocks.
