Banksy is an artist, political activist and film-maker from Bristol, UK. He chooses not to reveal his name and lives under this pseudonym, avoids contact with mainstream media. He rather expresses himself on his mural stencils, a number of books and a documentary called: 'Exit Through the Gift Shop'.
He mocks all the governmental power and his edgy themes include an anti-war and anti-government stance. Some assert 'his art clearly glorifies vandalism', some claim 'he improves the aesthetic quality of urban surroundings.' I think that his striking images and slogans succeed in what message he attempts to convey in a sort of in-your-face manner and it is that idiosyncrasy which makes him stronger as an artist. Will let Banksy's work do the talk now:
