Who is Banksy?
Banksy, the elusive British street artist, has continuously captivated the art world with his thought-provoking works and political activism. He is best known for his simple but iconic imagery of rats and policemen, which he spray painted on the side of buildings around Bristol in the early 1990s. By the mid-2000s, Banksy was becoming a household name, with his work popping up in cities all over the world. To this day, what continuously draws people to Banksy, is that while his work has achieved worldwide fame, his identity remains a mystery.
The Exhibition
After receiving over 2 million visitors worldwide, this Banksy exhibition has proven to be a must-see for any art enthusiast. The Art Of Banksy: “Without Limits” exhibition, showcases an assortment of 240 artworks, including stencilled images, his sculptures and various drawings and paintings. A significant portion of Banksy’s iconic stencilled works has also been meticulously reproduced, accompanied by detailed explanations and captivating backstories.
The exhibit also includes some of his most well-known installation pieces, which are divided into four main sections. First up is the Infinity Room, where you can step into an infinite room full of mirrors. The Dismaland Experience offers a gritty pop-up amusement park simulation, based on the artist’s temporary theme park that appeared in the UK in 2015. Next, there is Murals, which includes 7 new murals Banksy created in war-torn Ukraine. Finally, there is Louis Michel, a room inspired by the 30-metre-long French Navy boat that Banksy decorated in response to the refugee crisis in the Mediterranean.
