In an ideal world.
Lets hope people google Calais Jungle not Calais Banksy.
There is a big difference in the search results if doing an image search.

"We liked the Banksys last month, but this one seems to be criticizing us? WTF? Do we scrub this or protect it?"
The French government deserves to be criticised for the situation in Calais and playing chess with the UK.
The reason the French police use tear gas so much is because the government refuses to allow enough police in Calais to be able to deal with things properly. The police are very few compared to the migrants and use tear gas to prevent being attacked and things getting out of hand.
Plus the Gendarmes are recruited from the military and one thing is sure. If the French police tell you to move back or disperse. It's advisable to do that. They take no prisoners.

Scaffold team, big plastic non transparent sheeting to work behind, road work uniforms etc etc. Or just one guy with a cardboard stencil and a couple of spray cans.
Les Miserables "is a French historical novel by Victor Hugo, first published in 1862, that is considered one of the greatest novels of the 19th century." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Mis%C3%A9rables

Banksy Street Art โข Les Miserables, by Wearology on Jan 24, 2016 23:53:37 GMT 1, Does Banksy really need his PR Agent to announce to the world that he painted something on a piece of wood. It wreaks of desperation and I find the image and the announcement a bit lame. If it wasn't for his hired mouthpieces announcement I wouldn't believe that Banksy would have done this piece due to its lack of creativity and artistic merit. Banksy is better than this and hopefully this is not the start of things to come
from his spin masters in 2016 !!!!

I know I will come across as a fan boy, but personally I think this is a strong piece. It doesn't have the humour of most of his work. I see it as being quite an angry piece, and having now seen the camp at Calais come under such a ferocious attack, I'm not surprised.
The execution is good in my opinion. But the best thing about this piece, for me, is the audacity of the placement. That's what makes it a strong piece for me.

Funnily enough, I liked the image before I knew anything about the possible artist. I kinda thought it might be someone other than Banksy. Someone else putting out a good piece of work. It's not an investment, so I don't care who made it, the work speaks for itself. |
