Who is Banksy?<\/h2>\n

Banksy is the pseudonym of a guerrilla street artist from Bristol, England, who turned cities into canvases with politically charged and provocative artworks that reflect the cultural landscape. Over the years, his work has highlighted themes of capitalism, war, the human condition, and more; some even coated with a dash of dark humor. His striking images, moreover, are often accompanied by slogans. He is particularly known for using copyrighted material and for politicizing classic images. The characters that inhabit his artworks often include rats, apes, policemen, and children.<\/p>\n

It is believed that Banksy started as a mere graffiti artist in the underground scene early on in the 1990s, but by the late 90s, he switched to stencils and soon achieved worldwide fame. Despite intense speculation, his true identity remains a mystery to this day, earning him a loyal cult following the world over.<\/p>\n
