This piece
was created by Banksy who is a graffiti artist mainly, but has created a film
about his work. Banksy is a artist who prefers to keep his identity to him self
and shy’s away from the public, however over time his true identity has became
more open and more answers have become answered.
What I mainly admire about banksy is that he
creates his work when no one is there to see, until after he’s finished and
people start to look and admire his style.
This is my favourite piece by Banksy because
its got meaning to it from the text, which says ‘ keep your coins I want change
‘. I think this text is very clever as he’s referring ‘change’ as in a change
in life, and not ‘change’ as in money. I feel that this is a very clever way of
sending a message to someone, and is a very powerful text. It also looks very
realistic, by only using black and white colours on the man and not a lot of
detail; it looks like he’s just been using a ‘positive and negative’ approach
personally.
I feel that Banksy is a very influential
artist, especially this piece here, because of how he sends a message across in
his own unique graffiti style.
