Week of April 18

Monday, April 18




Banksy is a British street artist that juxtapositions images to create his works. The place where the image is located connects to what he is trying to say. However, a lot of his works are anarchy signs. Banksy does not like copyright laws as he does not believe that people should "own" their images. Banksy is an anonymous artist. He displays his art on public surfaces such as walls and even goes as far as building physical prop pieces. He does not sell photos of his art directly himself, however art auctioneers have been known to attempt to sell his street art on location. The image above is located in West Los Angeles, California.
