Banksy is a graffiti artist that mainly works in stencil work. I am very interested in stencils and have worked with them in my past a lot (even as a concentration). I enjoy the graphic quality of the images and the strict line patterns and static, yet moving intensity that it creates. His works create a new environment within the cities that he creates these artworks in. These artworks directly attack governmental policies, international standings, and civil viewpoints. He makes a humorous connection from the viewer to the artwork with certain pieces.
Do these images cause the people who walk past them and view them to make connections to the government and ask questions to themselves?
