Banksy

Banksy, Greatest Hits: 2002-2008

​12 JULY-8 SEPTEMBER 2018

LAZINC SACKVILLE

​London

The exhibition include many of the classic works of the Banksy, such as Monkey Queen, Girl with balloon, Flower thrower, Banksy copy them again in the gallery. In fact, I don't think it has any meaning to the artist himself. It's a boring thing to copy his own work, but I think that Banksy is moving the graffiti's limitations into the art gallery and transferring information to more people. Graffiti is not necessarily an art, but he is a real artist.

He likes to use black humor in his works, Churchill becomes a green hairstyle of punk. McDonald's and Mickey Mouse hold the hands of a Vietnamese girl, charger throw a bomb and change bomb to a flower. His work itself is a reflection and move others. This reminds me of a classic picture of a girl inserting a flower into the gun of an army. What is war? What is war for? What can art bring to the world? What I need to do? I feel that Banksy in his own way to answer these questions and in the way of art to contribute to the world. Although he said the world is only a joke in his view, but his passion and purity let me move.

My favorite work of Banksy is he painted a Monalisa, the face was spoof and then he secretly hung the painting in the art gallery, and the result was not found for a week, and the audience regarded his painting as the art gallery of the art. This is a very interesting thing. I think from the beginning of this work, he made graffiti to be art-What is art? He challenged art in his own way, which is no different from Duchamp moving the urinal into the gallery. In this exhibition, there are also many famous paintings that he spoof.

Banksy's way is really extreme. in fact, sometimes I don't like the way of some of his works, such as Kuso or attack . I think it does not respect other peoples,  after all, everything has two sides. But his pure and passing information can prove that he is a real artist. I think art, like music and religion, brings hope to others with its own strength. I want to work hard to achieve this and to be a real artist.
