Just like Basquiat in the 80s in New York, he used the name Samo...but it was him and a friend using Samo. When Basquiat got famous, his friend stopped using the name Samo out of respect for Jean-Michel.
I never understood how they couldn't check cameras when he hung up paintings in a museum track him to the entrance check the time stamp and check who bought a ticket at that time. I do respect that no one knows him that's part of his art
I always used cash when I was out committing crimes specifically to avoid this. Unless they were taking photos of peoples Id's this would do nothing. Even if they did that he could just use a fake.
@@dUBfROMwATERHOUSE fair enough buuuut u can still trace the person hanging the painting regardless of their physique with cameras all the way back to the entrance where they mightve used their card to pay although now that I say it put loud he mightve also paid cash
its because the government lets him do this they want his work in there city they wont buff any of his shit and they go after people that cross him out, its just the game there's tones of Graff writers that have been doin this shit for way longer than him and way better. His work is kind of cool but not worth this respect from the masses.
Your saying that a man who is completely anonymous, doesn’t work with anyone has been on the sense since 2002, is an industry plant? Do you even know what an industry plant is?
Right idk i just thought of this why didn't they track him from cameras back to when he bought the ticket to a museum and just check who bought the ticket at that time. Cuz if they're gonna pay millions for his free art because his identity is unknown just find out who he is and make it free or cheaper
Wasnt it payless a few yeats back faked a high end shoe store and sold 50 dollar shoes for like 500 dollars and stupid people were saying oh yeah i would go to a gala wearing this.
New york post: someone took a pic of a man and his assistant halfway working on a mural, later claimed by banksy( recent tree). Who do you think the guy photographed hopping over the gate and giving his assistant a box of the cans used is.🙄
Always surprised to see good artists putting absolute shit on them selves. Like a blind man telling you something crazy that happened and he saw. Something's off.
Funny how this video still goes over peoples heads, Two clues that arent giving it away: Hes not the bloke with stars tatted to his head, and have a look through the book "Spraycan Art" sometime. Any more clues would be a MASSIVE giveaway
Banksy is nothing but lazy satire. The fact the art establishment love him just goes to show how out of touch they are & how paltry & inoffensive his work is.
I think he's more of a style then a person. like if something looks like a "banksy" people will call it a Banksy and it manifests into a big thing. when really it could just be anybody or multiple people. like if I really wanted to I bet I could study the style, go out, do a piece and if it's in the rite place at the rite time with that look, itl b called a banksy
@@Cua-tanet Well, it shows younger artists that you can make it big by having a silly idea and sticking with it. Also, he does quality work. I wouldn't pay big money to buy his stuff, but it sure is a joy to look at.
@durereee The art world is responsible for degrading real art by giving too much credit to mediocracy. Also, Banksy claims to be anti-establishment but has gotten rich off the establishment selling his/her work. He/she can't have it both ways. That just makes them a hypocrite.
@@Cua-tanet valid point there, but I think it's more like a sign of the times we live in. We're galloping towards an Idiocracy future on all fronts, if you haven't noticed. I know it takes way more skill to paint a graff piece than simply slap on some stencils, but not necessarily more talent. I know great graffiti writers than couldn't send a message if their life depended on it, but are beasts with the linework when it comes to writing their name. Does that make them great artists? I don't particularly think it does, for the casual observer. Anyway, what I was trying to say is that I don't see Banksy's art as mediocre, it's pretty obvious to me a lot of thought has been put into it. We do live in a meme world right now too so he's right on the money. Speaking about money, the man cheesed the system and got rich for it, what's all this talk about "he's not anti establishment". What is this establishment exactly? Capitalism?
He's a copycat! Artists like Dan Witz and Richard Hambleton were there first. IF Banksy had any integrity, he'd acknowledge that. The only thing he has incorporated into HIS work is the fancy mechanism (shredders, etc.); otherwise, the guy is another shameless "appropriationist"!
I thought Banksy was against capitalism. I visited the Banksy exhibition (Over Priced) in London it was three floors and one of the floors was a gift shop with tacky over priced poorly made gifts. What a joke banksy is 🤡 Just another far-let greedy metropolitan elite capitalist 🤣🤣
that would not work in the US. The municipality would eventually just make it illegal to possess tagging gear with the intent to use it for tagging; 'attempted vandalism' or some such shit. Holding a stencil against a wall while in posession of a can of spray paint is likely enough evidence to prove an attempt at vandalism.
@@anthonytamez170 I am talking about how the presenter describes how you could avoid being arrested, not how banksy actually does it. I seriously doubt banksy just goes around leaning on walls with stencils telling cops 'nah man leaning on a wall with a stencil and a bag full of spray cans isn't illegal'.
Because Banksy isn't a person. It a group of rich kids; an art collective as it were. Signed a NYC graffiti artist. Banksy isn't considered graffiti by real writers. You gotta do your own work
From an eagle eye perspective, street artists that make stuff for any regular person to understand are above graffiti writers that just write their name for other graffers. You people don't seem to understand the irony of putting an art form that's supposed to be rebellious by nature in a box with rules.
@@durere Nah you said “street artists” are above graff writers and that couldn’t be further from the truth. “Street art” should be abolished and work should be delegated to the good graff writers.
@@Schlammy7 Yea but see, only a graffer would say that. The rest of the world doesn't care about your bubble. Is there shit street art? Absolutely! But abolish it? Why?
i sometimes think maybe banksy is actually a close knit group of people, idk
And it is!And they use plotters to cut the stencils,they dont do it by hand!Banksy is a corporation,a brand!

Rip robbo
Met banksy the other day he left some awsome pieces in Karon Beach Phuket
Acting like it doesn't take HOURS to make the damn stencil and get it clean enough to layer right. 😂😂 but it's cool. Less creative but still cool.
No one said otherwise
How to commercializ rebellion 101. When is the IPO going to be available so the founders can cash out and retire?
Im still trying to figure out how he scales the side of high rise apartment buildings.

Thanks Dave!

Not like he's ex SAS, he's a 🥂 socialist called Robin Gunningham and married to some Labour Party woman.

"...and you wait for no one to come."
Brilliant command of English.

But painting on a building or wall without permission (by which is then classified as graffiti) IS illegal.
Probably because he has a stencil & a scanner
Because “He” is more than one person.
Anyone else here after bansky was exposed?
exposed?
Wdym?
His name is Robin Gunningham.

Banksy is propaganda. The media drives the propaganda.
Kevin Costner with star stickers on... or... Gary Oldman. There's a movie in this.
Always surprised to see good artists putting absolute shit on them selves. Like a blind man telling you something crazy that happened and he saw. Something's off.
Banksy is similar to Mr Robot or Elliott Alderson?? Any other suggestions who he might be like or similar too??
His real name is Robert Banks.
It’s because Banksy isn’t a real person, and the whole thing is a corporate facade
