Who is Banksy?<\/h2>\n

Banksy is an England-based enigmatic graffiti guru who produces his work in the public spaces but ironically has never been identified and is known only by his pseudonym. To date, his name and identity are secret and are a source of speculation for everyone following his work.<\/p>\n

In the early 1990s, Banksy started as a freehand graffiti artist and was part of the Bristol underground scene after being inspired by the local artist. He is known to share his political thoughts and messages in the form of graffitis and is likely to appear on bridges, streets, and walls throughout the world. His satirical street art uses dark humor with graffiti and is executed using a unique stenciling technique.<\/p>\n

Banksy\u2019s first known work was The Mild Mild West that was painted in 1997 to hide the advertising of a former solicitor\u2019s office in Bristol. In 2002, his first Los Angeles exhibition at 33 1\/3 Gallery showcased some of his best works like Love is in the Air (2002), Bomb Hugger (2002), Smiley Copper H (2002), and so on. This was the start of his worldwide fame and rest, as they say, is history.<\/p>\n

Why should you visit Banksy Expo: Genius or Vandal?<\/h2>\n

\"Banksy<\/p>\n

Banksy: Genius or Vandal is a one-of-a-kind exhibition being held in NYC where the visitors can browse through the amazing works of famous and enigmatic British artist, Banksy. This exhibition has already been held in 15 other cities before and is a great way to take a look into the controversial artistic universe of Banksy. With more than 100 genuine, authentic artworks of Banksy at display lent by private collectors around the world, this Banksy New York exhibition is a great guide to this artist\u2019s career.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the exhibition displays art installations, photos, and videos that showcase the street works by Banksy using virtual reality technology. A lot of these works are currently lost and not available in the original organic environment anymore. Most of his other street works are likely to get lost too as they get stolen or collected by collectors or tampered by either overly enthusiastic fans. This is why the Banksy New York exhibition is one of the last chances to see his amazing works in their true forms.<\/p>\n

This exhibition is not authorized by the artist who chooses to stay anonymous from the system.<\/p>\n
