Taking The Piss with Banksy

Taking The Piss

Banksy is an anoynomous English street artist and activist who has become a cult hero for his anti-establishment and rebellious artwork.

Unlike someone I know, who stays in his house all day drawing comics and watching Simpsons reruns, Banksy is a REAL artist who challenges the status quo, forces people to think and puts himself in danger, all while remaining a complete mystery to the world.

I mean think about it, he’s one of the most famous artists on the planet, his work has been popping up in major cities for the past 10 years and sell for millions of dollars and no one knows who the hell this guy is! I take my hat off to the dude. – Gavin Aung Than, Zen Pencils

Banksy – Street Art Residency in New York City (Video)

Banksy made a video about his Residency in New York City to accept his Webby for Person of the Year.

Not many people would make a logical connection between street art and the Internet, but Banksy not only showed the world what that looks like, but he made people care about it, too.

For providing a glimpse into the potential future of art on the Web, Banksy truly deserves to be named Webby Person of the Year. – The Webby Awards

Dran – The French Banksy, Art Gallery

Dran - The French Banksy, Art Gallery | Third Monk image 37

French street artist Dran uses his artistic talent to criticize society, and it’s conditioned conventions. Typically ironic in approach, his similarities to English graffiti artist Banksy have earned him the nickname, “the French Banksy”. 

Dran’s social criticisms are varied in scope, and although many of his works are naturally playful, they manage to retain their intended message.

Finally, I would be remiss if I did not mention Dran’s site, it has a lot of cool interactions built in (don’t click on the spider!).

Banksy Quotes on Society, Street Art Gallery | Third Monk image 16

Since introducing the world to his first pieces of graffiti, Banksy has laced his art with social commentary. Most people will look at his art without absorbing the message but the few that do will be better equipped with ideas on how to make society a better place.
