BANKSY in Dover, Brexit, by lacklisted on May 8, 2017 18:56:47 GMT 1, Banksy is good in optical illusion ( shadow beyond the ladder, painter in front of the flag, cracks etc ... ) , location and.,. Messages! But ... I asked him ( he does not care ) on IG what does it think in fact : was it just a statement ? pro Brexit or anti Brexit ? It's important ,Brexit is before all against " foreignerss" , migrants etc... ..60 % at Dover I read ?! Because it's in front of the ferries? - as Calais had a good score for National Front also ? This piece that looks as a commissioned piece ( the blue of the flag per example ) , should give us more information about Banksy's opinion about the Brexit ?! Ukip can like it ( more than others ? ) , also pro European people.., I know some will say it's about Europe Bankers, etc ,.. lol, I read that most of the money given by UK to Europe have been in the 1000 pockets of the U.K. Richest people ! Anyway yes, , it's good piece ( somd pics are excellent) but... I thought that Banksy hated people waving flags , and .. it's a flag ( with an idea a bit " childish " but we can forget that, technically, the illusion, the paint, etc ... it's well done ) Just missed the real message, Banksy' thoughts...

BANKSY in Dover, Brexit, by Rouen Cathedral on May 8, 2017 19:22:13 GMT 1, Look, Banksy is without a doubt my favorite living artist and will arguably be remembered as one of the worlds most influential artists, but are you really "astonished" by the negligible level of what I would hardly even call "criticism" on this thread? A few people mentioning the theme here has been attempted in various ways? It takes nothing away from the great new B piece and this thread has remained overwhelmingly positive from what I've read. No need to be overly dramatic about it all. Separately, I can't tell if you were being serious with your statement "There would have been no street pieces to offer commentary on any world issues had it not been for banksy"...  Alright, you asked for it. His influence on the street art genre can't be overstated. He transcended graffiti and inspired a generation of artists that never would have picked up a spray can otherwise. What Retna, Saber, Pose, Risk, Kaws, Futura, Daze, Seen, all have in common is that they actually have a background in graffiti, not 30 second spraying of irreverent stencil pieces with social commentary. Had he never proliferated the scene, there would still be political graffiti, but by no means would they be well cut multi layered stenciled characters playing out a satirical scene. I would also venture a guess that sonnets would be nowhere in our literary lexicon without the existence of Shakespeare, or our understanding of special relativity without Einstein. Astronomy without Copernicus. Mathematics without Pythagoras. Can't be overstated. There would still be graffiti, but this quasi-urban gallery aspirational 'street art' sub-genre wouldn't have ever developed. There's such high demand for his work that it birthed a whole scene of non graffiti inspired 'street art', that's where the genres split. Let's play a game, find all the artists on this forum who never wrote graffiti. I mean tags, bombing, throw ups, burners, stickers, markers, rail yard beat downs, the whole bit. What is inherently 'urban' about there work? Nothing. Banksy alone lends them the street credibility, so all that follow are grandfathered in. They don't need to earn any of their own stripes, if they can borrow some elements of his style. The observer assimilates these elements into the artists own story, giving them instant recognition as being authentically urban. Even though they went to art school on Daddy's dime and never spent a cold night on a high rooftop with icy rollers and frozen index fingers.
So without blek we get no banksy right?
Uh oh.

BANKSY in Dover, Brexit, by damo on May 9, 2017 17:18:12 GMT 1, In terms of the timing i do think the French elections at the weekend were relevant. Yes the UK leaving the EU is well covered ground but that has mostly been insular commentary on the expected pain to be felt this side of the Channel. This piece, i feel, is far more of a nod toward the wider, and far reaching (and potentially fatal), cracks that are inevitable as a result of one significant member leaving the Union. The French elections were potentially the next big thing on that journey.
This is also suggests that he was getting the ferry to Calais for his work in the camp last year. I don't know why but this pleases me... Eurostar would have been a bit of a sell out in comparison!

Carry on wise Murke
As an aside when i was staying at the hotel in Bethlehem that Murke doesn't think is very good, I nipped into the shop next door with all the spray stuff a day before it opened
My eyes were darting around everywhere and took everything in a couple nano seconds, very similar to what i do when i am at a party and the food comes out, anyhow so what do i see??
I see what looks like a fax though it could have a been a bad photocopy of an A4 size paper with hand drawn and written set out for the shop on the counter, showing where the pictures go, what picture goes where and the stencil user instructions etc. I thought at the time, this is good, i wonder what it is? Whats it all about? what instructions? what can it all mean?
Being that i have seen similar things before from this chap, I could recognise who it was that did it. Guess who it was by??? Do you know yet??
I really wanted to steal it, really really wanted to, but it would have been bad.
wish i had though :-)
went to the pub instead and saw my new mate Mo and got pissed

Sure
I'm just comparing it to other 'prep' sketches. Quality seems different and if by different hand. That's my comment.

Sorry this hurt your feeling.
There's a lot of talk about if banksy is one person vs tens vs hundreds vs what banksy does vs others. My statement is merely a comment about this seeming to be by a different hand than many of the other sketches I've seen of banksy. (Allegedly)
Sorry if that hurts your feelings for some reason. It's just an observation.

I can't see in the detail. What's it hooked to? The sketch seems to show it hooked over the ladder which also goes higher up.

The hammer's wrong. That's a mallet, used for chiselling wood. It should be a bolster or club hammer.

It seems that in your scenario, had the individuals you mention not come along, their various achievements would never have been accomplished. This is certainly possible. However, one could also imagine that if these specific individuals had not made their respective achievements, someone else would eventually have done essentially the same thing they did, to much the same effect.
Since events happened to unfold the way they actually did, there is no way of knowing how things would have been if Banksy (or any of the other individuals mentioned) were taken out of the equation.

BANKSY in Dover, Brexit, by Deleted on May 9, 2017 21:10:16 GMT 1, I think it denotes, the Brexit cracks appearing. The workman chiselling off the EU star causing a crack which spreads across the whole of the EU (europe)
The whole Brexit fisaco and now the creacks showing the pro Brexit campaign that everything they promised is unnatainable through negotiations with the EU and that the UK could end up with a very bad and costly deal.
It's allready divided Scotland and Northern Ireland from Britain (England) regarding staying in the EU.
Maybe a good mural could have been a big British Isles painted on the side of the wall with the workman chiselling off the UK EU star and huge cracks appear divided Scotalnd and Northern Ireland etc.
I'm not sure if size matters with the mural as even if it was small on the side of a wall and a quicky job with no scaffold just simple stencils, it would have still been just as effective.

BANKSY in Dover, Brexit, by Strange Al on May 9, 2017 21:51:39 GMT 1, Banksy is now so firmly a part of British popular culture that the BBC's One Show producers decided to put a short feature about him, linked to the Dover piece, in the middle of their Theresa May special interview this evening. Cue link -
One Show presenter -“Quick one for you, Prime Minister: Banksy – art or criminal damage?”
