BANKSY and the ART of DECEPTION


 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!)

  1. 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.
