Banksy in Kiev, Ukraine ๐บ๐ฆ, by Daniel Silk on Nov 12, 2022 1:32:15 GMT 1, Is the gymnast and ballerina Russian or Ukrainian? Might have been an idea to add a bit of colour to make it clear what side they are?

Just seen it posted on discord not sure where itโs from but itโs fitting 100% him, this one and the Judo Throw are best of the bunch, thought so of the others were a bit crude

Banksy in Kiev, Ukraine ๐บ๐ฆ, by Jules Leotard on Nov 12, 2022 3:22:10 GMT 1, So what is people's interpretation of this piece? What message is Banksy trying to say? A gymnast balancing precariously? Isn't the gymnast a metaphor for both that particular building and the entire situation? She looks like she might fall over, that building looks like it might fall over, and the entire country is looking at the toughest 6 months in it's history. It may fall as well.
I'm disappointed by FAKE's comment. Its both immature and premature. I was starting to like that guy.

Banksy in Kiev, Ukraine ๐บ๐ฆ, by Deleted on Nov 12, 2022 6:26:57 GMT 1, First thoughts that went through my head with the Ballerina handstanding was she'll be walking funny for a while if that building comes down. I don't think that's the artists message though lol.The initial children on the seesaw image I thought was quite safe and predictable and the stencils rough.... then you take into consideration the location and context. However my thoughts then were I hope that's not all there is. It was a good opener, I'm sure very rushed with the location, so the classic silhouette style makes sense.Then the Judo piece popped up and I wasnt expecting that at all after the seesaw stencil, for me that's an incredible piece, that wasn't through up in as quick(although the charm in the seesaw is that it was thrown up in haste),it's a pretty self explanatory image. I was just chatting to someone and the ballerina one really is magical when it's zoomed out with the whole building in.

Banksy in Kiev, Ukraine ๐บ๐ฆ, by Daniel Silk on Nov 12, 2022 7:33:13 GMT 1, I wonder if Banksy might be planning to launch some sort of project that could help the people there? Any ideas what he could do?

Banksy in Kiev, Ukraine ๐บ๐ฆ, by The Real Ironman on Nov 12, 2022 8:47:09 GMT 1, I hope Banksy isn't in Kyiv, let me explain why before you bite me There is the risk of being mobilized or considered as a reservist in the army; the police are looking for people who can be sent to the front and the military police (SBU) don't laugh in wartime unless he pretends to be a journalist. If I were Banksy frankly I would not take a position in this conflict which has lasted for 8 years I think. Banksy is against war and for peace, against politics, unless I am mistaken. Do not forget in a war the politicians who kiss each other after the conflict, who think of all the people who died or who had to leave their house if they still have one, for whose beautiful eyes? of Putin and Zelensky. The losers in this story are the women who lose their dear husbands and children. Our politicians instead of trying to find a solution for peace are thinking how to provide weapons what a horror. Good evening to all N. This post hasn't been given the attention it deserves. There's even an insinuation in a post here that by posting somebody else's retweets they could possibly be supporting Russia. This tribal stuff is what makes everything so dangerous. People are scared to speak out because they will be piled in on.
Pointing out that Ukraine is a stinking, corrupt cesspit with a leader that has continued to avoid sitting down for peace talks, or to find ways to negotiate, isn't the same as supporting Russia. It's laughable. But Zelensky isn't some kind of God or paragon of virtue either. Whilst people globally are being told they have to struggle through, their governments are funneling money, weapons and resources into Ukraine. That is insane and if you don't want to question that then something is seriously up. Ultimately, the average civilians will be the ones to suffer - as always in these bullshit situations.
That's why these pieces crack me up. It's absolutely hilarious seeing people masturbate themselves into a frenzy over some stencils. Like pretty much everything Banksy, it is weak and comes with hype and PR which is usually a substitution for a message of any real weight or depth.

I was just chatting to someone and the ballerina one really is magical when it's zoomed out with the whole building in. It's a young gymnast, not a Ballerina. It's primarily for Ukrainians and possibly those in that particular city. A quick Google for Ukrainian Gymnastics will give you some context.

Banksy in Kiev, Ukraine ๐บ๐ฆ, by Pete the Post on Nov 12, 2022 9:32:51 GMT 1, I have a feeling these slightly unreadable images, will make a lot more sense in a little film or something. I think the โbigger pictureโ will be more rolled out at the end in some way. the kids on the hedgehog and putin are pretty easy to read into the meaning (probably wrongly in some way!), but the ballerina and gymnast i cant really get my head round. Unless they mean โ your no gold medalist are you mateโ. (fully just throwing pasta at the wall there!)

Banksy in Kiev, Ukraine ๐บ๐ฆ, by nikos76 on Nov 12, 2022 9:44:51 GMT 1, Thank you for paying attention to my message.
There are people who die and are moved every day, how sad. I would have preferred him to do it, for example, in a neutral place between the two countries so that he humiliates the politicians who do not seek a solution. for peace, but only how to sell weapons.
Have a nice day everyone and may peace quickly return to his country.
Don't forget we are all accomplices in this war it is you and I who pay the price.
I love street art

Overthinking it, i was guessing really, playing with theories. Like i say, i cant read his mind.
Why is he there, what is he โhighlighting", we have not missed this, we know who the enemy here is. Maybe this doesnt fit his โnormโ and all he is doing is setting Ukraine up for some banksy tourism after the war ends. Not a clue, he is there, he is painting and he is showing solidarity with Ukraine. Good on him.

Iโd suggest the nationality of the gymnast is fairly obvious but also not especially relevant. Adding colour would add nothing at all to the works.

Banksy in Kiev, Ukraine ๐บ๐ฆ, by Lroy on Nov 12, 2022 14:07:37 GMT 1, It's not the first time that Banksy is posting the artworks all together, but one by one ( or he makes a video ) .. He takes his times ( maybe he needs other photos or I don't know what )... But I can't understand old members still asking if it's a true oen r not ( or it became a game , an it's funny sometimes ).
For the two Kids, it's true that it looks like a bit a Cake stencils ( he is often in Bethlehem ) he posted the artworks first in its instagram, tagging Banksy. so could be a Banksy but it's looks different as all the stencils ( even the last one with the maid on the chair )
I am every pleased to see Banksy 's back and I enjoy to discover all the artworks ! Thank you sir !

It fits with the kids, acrobats, the lady with fire extinguisher and the man in the tub. All of them are continuing their lives but under new circumstances.

If you put her on the ground she barely sees over the window ledge . So she's randomly plonked on a chair .
And regarding your theory of the theme - how did this "lady's" life look before ? Standing on a chair with a fire extinguisher and now she has to wear a gasmask ?

The lady on the chair took the time to put rollers in and is in a housecoat/dressing gown so not planning to rush off anywhere and is relaxed. She is on the chair to reach the window to put the fire out.
The gymnast with neckbrace continues despite an injury and the handstand gymnast continues despite the very dangerous location.

Pointing out that Ukraine is a stinking, corrupt cesspit with a leader that has continued to avoid sitting down for peace talks, or to find ways to negotiate, isn't the same as supporting Russia. It's laughable. But Zelensky isn't some kind of God or paragon of virtue either. Whilst people globally are being told they have to struggle through, their governments are funneling money, weapons and resources into Ukraine. That is insane and if you don't want to question that then something is seriously up. Ultimately, the average civilians will be the ones to suffer - as always in these bullshit situations. That's why these pieces crack me up. It's absolutely hilarious seeing people masturbate themselves into a frenzy over some stencils. Like pretty much everything Banksy, it is weak and comes with hype and PR which is usually a substitution for a message of any real weight or depth. Re: masturbation comment. Keep in mind a couple of things : 1. this started as a Banksy forum, so what do you expect? and, 2. many people on here have a good part of their art investments tied up in Banksy art - worth which somewhat depends on his ability/choice to continue with public installations. It has been a โlong timeโ in Banksy time since his last public โreleaseโ - i.e. interaction with his fans. So maybe take your mean, negative stencil opinions and personal attacks to another site?
I hope Banksy isn't in Kyiv, let me explain why before you bite me There is the risk of being mobilized or considered as a reservist in the army; the police are looking for people who can be sent to the front and the military police (SBU) don't laugh in wartime unless he pretends to be a journalist. If I were Banksy frankly I would not take a position in this conflict which has lasted for 8 years I think. Banksy is against war and for peace, against politics, unless I am mistaken. Do not forget in a war the politicians who kiss each other after the conflict, who think of all the people who died or who had to leave their house if they still have one, for whose beautiful eyes? of Putin and Zelensky. The losers in this story are the women who lose their dear husbands and children. Our politicians instead of trying to find a solution for peace are thinking how to provide weapons what a horror. Good evening to all N. This post hasn't been given the attention it deserves.
