There can't be many street artists who have their own entry on Wikipedia. The pseudo-anonymous Banksy has one and it's quite comprehensive too.
Banksy's artwork is usually controversial, always thought provoking and great for prompting discussion. The message is usually anti-war, anti-capitalism and/or anti-establishment. He paints with stencils — which renders a surreal, almost photographic quality to his images.
I absolutely adore his style.
The ten images presented here need no further commentary. In fact, they're better without it, so that your own interpretation of the message of each is untainted by mine. Enjoy!
