This seems to be put together by a team robbo fan/banksy hater which is obviously going to be one sided, youve been around the scene long enough to know that surely Dan? This did used to be the banksy forum didnt it?

Your view on Banksy?, by Icesay on Jul 13, 2016 17:34:19 GMT 1, One for the conspiracy theorists but what if Banksy has become, albeit against his wishes the allowed and controlled voice of dissent that the structures of the modern world use to promote divisions in society that allow our views to be manipulated?

I got 45 seconds in, heard two things that are blatantly not true (Banksy can't paint freehand and Banksy denies Blek's influence), and gave up watching. Not what I would call interesting views!

Lol , you are blind, from bad faith or what ?! " discuss ", " share "' and " learn " ... You forgot " block " ! Because when an haughty or not member is not agree with you , he blocks you ! Even a member has asked to his friends how to block all my comments. Then, you decide the rules here a bit no ? And you too, does not answer to my comments : that's this forum really friendly mind , lol.,
Anyway, on this video - made by a WSM anti-Banksy or Robbo fan I agree with A. , each word is against Banksy ! Second, a lot of artworks are not by Banksy ( first image is by our friend John ) ... Why ? Most of all , this kind of " punk Lolita " voice is unbearable !
In fine this video can be funny, just because it is a video about street-art , just because it is a video in fact.
For a Banksy fan or not what to expect with this video : redundancy again again .. The kick-ass Banksy video style ... Funny yes maybe

Your view on Banksy?, by jfiks on Jul 13, 2016 18:51:51 GMT 1, My opinion is that he's a super gifted artist. Whatever people want to say about him, the fact remains that he's the most talked about street/urban artist around. His art is his own observation of the world around him and his critique resonates with people.

Why are Banksy fans and galleries that sell his art so touchy. Get a f**king life you guys.

De ja vu ?

Your view on Banksy?, by toshspice on Jul 14, 2016 16:16:39 GMT 1, Unfortunately, the World is full of gobby bloggers like this.
I'm sure you're winding us all up but what you've highlighted here is an appallingly unconvincing piece of writing. Rather than make Banksy look a t**t, the article makes the writer look like a clueless, embittered bag of hot air.
The last paragraph is a wonderful testament to someone who is desperately trying to appear opinionated by making an important point, but who ends up making no point at all. What in fuck's name does this actually mean?
"His street paintings often show rats apparently to indicate that we are all unthinking members of the ‘rat race’. It seems the main reason he paints on the street is because he wants to insult the man in the street directly. Yet now his ‘art’ is selling for thousands of dollars and pounds. It’s the picture-frame equivalent of the Project Red Amex card or the backstage pass at Live8. It doesn’t mean anything, but owning one just might - for a split second - fool other people into thinking that you do."

I thought Banksy had the gallery representation when he teamed up with Hirst on the spot painting etc and had the show in LA.
I agree he is doing his thing not forgetting doing it with a PR team people on the inside in some national newspapers, lawyers and investment. Plus getting "art" like "morons" sold at Sotheby's for them to accept it takes knowing the right (influential) people.
In reality Banksy is as mainstream in the art world as possible.
It's the established route like the auction house sales and the show in LA with very publicised high dollarv to celebrities that is the reason why galleries flippers and collectors investors find Banksy's stencilled rats etc so very desirable.
Whether Banksy decided to become an art world light entertainer, sort of Noel Edmonds of the art world making stencils with punchlines which make a few column inches in the metro etc for some light reading by commuters stuck in traffic or whether Banksy is run as a team as in make a stencil on a wall which is thought up to be quirky, then the PR kicks into action and contacts some pet celebs who "discover it" and tweet it on their timeline etc or get someone to organise the Dismaland show Banksy does like to tell us we are imbeciles and other stuff that is irrelevant to most people.
As for carving out ones path against the odds.
What odds would they be?

What odds? Well like most artists his main objective has always been to get his work seen by as many as possible, hes went from spraying work on the street and being disregarded by the artworld at large to being front page news across the world and cementing his place in art history and being currently one of the most sought after artists. His work is now considered mainstream commercially obviously largely because its worth a lot of money which attracts a lot of attention, thats the nature of the beast, it wasnt always like that. Hes an artist who wants to be heard and his work seen, hes beaten the odds which are stacked heavily against all artists to reach the point of visibility hes at now.
