Banksy: Graffiti Rebel to Art World Phenomenon |Perspective

Banksy changed the modern art world, taking it from galleries and onto the street. His identity has always been hidden from the public; keeping this secret was key to avoiding any criminal charges. He started as a freehand graffiti artist in Bristol but turned to the art of stencilling after realising how much quicker it was to complete work. Banksy developed a distinctive iconography of highly recognisable images, such as rats and police officers, that communicated his anti-authoritarian message. As his art spread, so did his popularity. He made headlines for his Kissing Coppers, painted the West Bank Wall and walked into galleries and hung his own work. Banksy is one of the best-known artists of the 21st Century, yet, does anybody know who he really is?

So many towns around the country have taken art to their streets via buildings!!! Enjoy the art!

[@Ellie-wl3rw]

Newfound respect for a terrific artist.

[@boaz9208]

Thought this channel was dead, hope there are more documentaries to come!

[@borge2014]

Fabulous fabulous documentary.

[@DanielAlvarez-sg1yd]

I love this my favorite artist of all time

[@theworldaccordingto4555]

Great documentary. I still think Robert is the head of Banksy (as a collective/group). Either way, whether he is or isn't Banksy I love their artistic output, from Robert Del Naja to Massive Attack and Banksy. They are much needed artists in this contemporary world mess that we are in.

[@danielboard9510]

Art seems to make claims of Renaissance and enlightenment all the time.
Is there really anything we could claim as renaissance from any of those, so called self enlightened expressionist movements? Art is sold now as an investment. So art is really dead. Or is it?
Just because i'm not painting royal people, is my art any less relevant?
I have no idea. But i ain't making claims about being enlightened.
Banksy.

Thanks 🎉

bankys wouldn't be graffitti if he covered my windshield. you take it out frame it and get a new windshield and feel blessed he chose my car.

The rebel lauded by nearly every facet of institution power. In the past court and church artists were honest about what they were.

[@funkymunky]

Exactly. He's a useful |diot and a NEET living on mum's and dad's inherited fortune.

[@mrnobody-unowen]

He did the full Monet circuit in record time. From revolutionary new artist, to worldwide celebrity, to beloved by the elderly.

Damn first post in 5 months, I missed the videos

Banksy is proof that an Advertising agency can turn a pig's ear into a silk purse.

👑 BANKSY

[@danielboard9510]

Its difficult that, graffiti art was a reaction to decay and corruption in New York. And now street art is a symbol of art.
Caravaggio painted against perverts. Well that is to say, indentured religious doctrine.
The big wheel keeps on turning.

[@marmadukegrimwig]

So little talent, yet so much influence. How sad…

[@RenzoColameoIrlanda]

Are you kiding??? Wow...

[@jpkatz1435]

"little talant" ? Give it a try, go ahead and create a few 1000 meaningful works.

[@marmadukegrimwig]

@@jpkatz1435 ‘meaningful’… 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jessicajaerosenbaum115]

2:44 if thats not his actual work its not worth 60$

[@steelshepherd6843]

Corporatism is the mechanism by which the merely simple system of capitalism becomes corrupt, capitalism is merely guilty of being corruptible...anyways, great documentary...

[@steelshepherd6843]

Children make up a disproportionately small percentage of refugees...maybe if only refugee family units were taken the UK would be a better place, but there is still a limit. America for instance was taking in numbers equaling or exceeding their native birth rates...
If local women started all giving birth to twins, people would be concerned...but not immigration and refugees...

[@wendyarlene7191]

Poor mans Picasso,… but whatever.

[@GabeWilliams]

Who?

[@user-tl8zp2vs3e]

That’s a terrible insult to Picasso.
Pablo Picasso could paint and draw, and changed art history for good ….

[@wendyarlene7191]

@@user-tl8zp2vs3e you’re right, I’d agree! My apologies.

no new york is not the birth place of graffiti art hahaha seriously

[@youtubecensors5419]

Ancient Rome was.

Bansky is making bank and doesn't care.

[@user-tl8zp2vs3e]

10:44 Keith Haring couldn’t draw and definitely could paint, his work is basic and underwhelming, that’s why he rose so high in the contemporary art scene and market 🤦‍♂️
