Many Thanks.
Wasn't really to my taste; sorry. The website also doesn't work entirely in Mozilla Firefox (which I use).
Not to my taste either - can't really see the point, sorry
Not really my sort of thing at all im afraid :shock:
Please also checkout this great site someone told me about in Work:

Enjoy.
They look like pictures of Preston town centre confused :? :? :?
Someone's going to have to explain why these pics are good? Should I go out now and take some of knackered buildings and make money???
sorry, not getting this at all rolleyes
Banksy is a very well-known agit-prop artist. He recently did the scales of justice as a hooker and also did the artwork for the latest Blur album.
It's not really my cup of tea, to be honest... to many cliches.

Hey!! Whats wrong with Preston town centre??
:laughabove:
It's perfect fodder for this sort of modern art!
PMFSL@ Blue.... You aint far wrong there I'll tell ya ... Id rather be somewhere warm wet and willing to be pleased wink :wink: As opposed to being in a cold wet dump of a city.. Like here! " here being PRESTON" not here being site.. Oh shut up Andy ya div!! :shock:
Dear Bulexxx,
Hope you have a great Birthday & if their was a Disco dancing competion you would get 1st Place. For all the other people that did'nt notice Blue got praise from the D.j @ the Manchester Munch biggrin
The whole thing about Bansky's Art is that its taking the mickey out of Modern Life & you see it sometimes Huge ( like the Cat in Liverpool ) or very very small. I really like the one on his website of the Grim Repear with the Acid House Smiley Face.
Very simple yet it really works. I've seen him do stuff with the face of Chairman Mao in a Suit, Bowler Hat, Suit Case, Brolley as if he's going to work in The City of London.
I really love his work as everyone gets it regardless of if they like it or not unlike other Modern / Brit Art.
Happy Birthday.
Thanks Omar.... I'll never understand art of any form rolleyes dunno . I'm soooooo uncivilised :roll:
Disco dancing - me..... you got to be kidding....... a munch in a parallel universe maybe but not on planet earth! :shock:

Dear Bulexxx,

Is that first name Ferris then?
Can't say Banksy does it for me. Some poor bugger's got to clean it off.

I feel well qualified to comment on this particular thread cos my first degree is in Visual Arts (aka Art History) and, despite me getting a very good classification I still think this particular stuff is pretententious and referential. If it's referential it's not original, if it's not original it's not THAT good, merely interesting or well executed or both!

Well, the Banksy thingy led me to a cliched Anti-American pastiche of works which carry much more weight in their original context, and the other one was a shot of a couple of bins against a wall...
Compare this with the power of Ruben's Massacre of the Innocents - which can be viewed at the National Gallery for free! - and I know which I'd rather gaze at...
And I'm supposed to be a thick philistine here anyway, so what did you expect..? rolleyes

I just love it its great. & thanks again for your views I love this site its great.
Can I revoke my vote? I stupidly thought that the question "Is this Web-Site the best EVER ?" Was refering to THIS site, must pay more attention to finishing off sente
Tedious recycling of ideas that have been done to death by other street artists, the website's dire - full of unecessary Flash, 'mystery meat' navigation and with a page of broken images:

and I find the use of this image and text wildly under the title 'Manifesto' wildly offensive mad

Other than that (and half a dozen banal attempts to garner controversy eg: yes, it's the finest website ever created confused
If you want to see an absolute class website for content and construction you would be better off looking at Silk and BigG's website on their www link.
Ask any art historian and they will tell you that art is at the forefront of social comment. It has the ability to reach audiences from all walks of life. This controversy is nothing new. Many peices of now accepted and alcaimed art work were once passed off as useless rubbish and many of the "great masters" never sold their work during their lifetime.
Courting the hype and controversy is part of getting your work noticed and written about, which in turn makes the artist money and possibly a living, maybe with fame attached.
Banksy's work in my opinion is not the greatest street art I have ever seen.
We recently attended an international festival abroad that was hosted on farm land. The buildings that were usually used to house the animals were boarded up and their occupants rehoused temporarily somewhere else. The organisers encouraged grafitti artists from all over the world to display their work on these boards.
The work we saw was simply breathtaking. Lots of it was deeply bedded in recent topical events and made scourging social comment which made the viewer really question their opinions on things. Others were more decorative and showed the range of skills the artist has. What Banksy does on the streets of this country compared to what I have seen is vandalism under the name of art.
Art has always made waves and will continue to, but not at the expense of other people's property. I am very much of the opinion that this is art and should be displayed in the relvant places such as galleries or in public viewing places. Some of it does make you question the staus quo, which in my opinion is always a good thing as this keeps my mind fresh and blows off a few cobwebs.
There are many other artists in this world which I would rather see work by. But as they say, each to their own...

ask it to do ANYTHING
Not at all impressive - the image on index3 I find particularly crass.
