It's surprising because when I did art at school I got an 'ungraded'.

But that seems a bit unfair to prisons - they donโt have their electricity and drinking water cut off randomly almost everyday."

I think it's easy to argue that the statue stencil piece finds 99% of its value in context, and 1% re: "ability to create good stencil"
Extremely powerful in that setting. If it was on a random door in Brighton, much much less so. How I feel.
Just glad he's doing more in Gaza, really.

Touche, I suppose. I think people who were praising the level of quality of the stencil image and questioning its meaning in relation to the story of Niobe or the Greek economy were missing the point even more, to be honest.
Impressive use of context is an extreme understatement here.
