Banksy Girl With the Pierced Eardrum, by Drymounted on Oct 20, 2014 22:09:59 GMT 1, I been thinking now for hours. I love the image. It is so besutiful. But I don't see Banksy in it? It's like something changed. It's not political no humor sarcasm. It's just huge admiration of a womans beauty, a hommage to long dead epoc?
To integrate an alarm, along with a large size that can't easily be cut out, could potentially point to commentary regarding the theft of his street pieces. Add in the technique of the spray extinguisher and drips, and it ties back to defacing of his pieces by other vandals covering his works in a similar manner.
All in all, it's a piece that has many layers, and it's proof that B is still progressing as an artist. Both with hsi technique/execution, and conceptually.

It's just huge admiration of a womans beauty, a hommage to long dead epoc? I'm not sure I agree with that. The fact that he's taken a piece that is historically revered in the fine art gallery world, and put it outside, further expands on the "better out than in" concept.

Banksy Girl With the Pierced Eardrum, by Deleted on Oct 20, 2014 23:11:58 GMT 1, I think the Banks has been feeding his women a bit too much... Ease off on the doughnuts mate. That must have been a rather large stencil or not. I think it's ok. I would buy the print though; if I could. :-)
Sexist and only thinking about a personal possession
Sigh

Banksy Girl With the Pierced Eardrum, by eschiff on Oct 20, 2014 23:18:14 GMT 1, So how does this work than with the fire extinguisher? I understand loading up the hydrants with paint, but obviously you're losing a lot of control.
So is the bottom done with the extinguisher (the larger black areas around her neck) and the rest stencilled with a can? Or is there just a massive stencil up there that you blast with the extinguisher?

Banksy Girl With the Pierced Eardrum, by Deleted on Oct 20, 2014 23:18:56 GMT 1, So here we are again, banksys modern take on vermeers 'girl with a pearl earring', little was known about Vermeer little is known about banksy.
Meandering thoughts
- scale done illegally, it is possible
- nothing for sale (publicly)
- bringing classical art to the streets with an update
- helping local business
- featuring women for once
- look up Vermeer for the connections there too

Banksy Girl With the Pierced Eardrum, by Dr Plip on Oct 20, 2014 23:45:16 GMT 1, Banksy carpool to Bristol?
Bit of a longshot, but if anyone's planning to drive to Bristol and fancies picking up some ballast from the Warwickshire region, I think Invaded420 and myself would be interested.
We can offer you petrol/beer money and crisps.
(I can't turn the BOLD off)

I recommend turning the sound off and playing the theme tune from The Benny Hill Show instead.
