His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stencilling technique. His works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world.
I've decided to look into his work as it perfect for my Anti Surveillance Campaign. He reaches a wide audience as people see his work through passing unlike other work where you have to purposefully search it out e.g galleries... The political issues he focuses his work around raises current issues and makes the viewer question the issue in a humorous way.
He cleverly considers and incorporates the space in which he is working into his design. By using security cameras as heads to animals and people he makes a much stronger statement and really highlights something which isn't natural but has blended into our day to day background.
“I need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me,” ~ quote by Banksy.
