Found on the internet: Banksy
uses deception primarily through his consistent anonymity and clever,
unexpected artistic stunts, such as the self-shredding painting after an
auction, to comment on the art world and society. This
tactic makes him an enigma, fuels media attention, and allows him to
control his narrative, though it also creates issues with authentication
and opens the door for fakes.
I had fun making these three ATCs ala Banksy.
(The brick background is from the last bit of a sheet of 'scrapbooking' paper I purchased years ago and I had JUST enough to create 3 ATCs in the correct measurements!)
Fine ATCs, I can see these ideas blown up on the walls. And very timely, Angie as Banksy on Monday just posted his first new artwork for a year in London.
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea! Banksy just had his latest work erased ( rather badly ) from the walls of the criminal courts in London. Such is the state of the world at the moment - not even satirical art is safe from the morons in charge!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. Ron made me aware of what was erased and I Googled it and fully appreciated it. Morons in charge is so correct. What a world we are living in.
