Synopsis
The collected works of Britain's most wanted artist
Artistic genius, political activist, painter and decorator, mythic legend or notorious graffiti artist? The work of Banksy is unmistakable (except maybe when it's squatting in the New York's Metropolitan Museum or Museum of Modern Art.) Banksy is responsible for decorating the streets, walls, bridges and zoos of towns and cites throughout the world.
Witty and subversive, his stencils show monkeys with weapons of mass destruction, policeman with smiley faces, rats with drills and umbrellas. If you look hard enough you'll find your own. His statements, incitements, ironies and epigrams are by turns intelligent and witty comments on everything from the monarchy and capitalism to the war in Iraq and farm animals.
His identity remains unknown, but his work is prolific. And now for the first time, he's putting together the best of his work--old and new--in a fully illustrated color volume.

February 21, 2008: Realy creative and inspiring. Even if you don't understand some of the art, it stirs you up in a delightful way!

January 19, 2007: Banksy has all the answers for the bureaucrats. The placement of his 'art' is extremely thought provoking. The accompanying titles and quotes are equally stimulating - sometimes very funny and sometimes very serious, but always making you think 'why didn't I think of that' or 'I know just what you mean'. The humour can be nothing but British, there is no other like it. If you want something to stimulate your mind and make you do a double take, you must check out this 'wall art' book. This is one of the best books I've 'read' in a long time. Can't wait for more books like this.
