Banksy Tree Mural โข North London, by Fake on Mar 18, 2024 12:10:28 GMT 1, I love this piece! although I don't think this is a Banksy. The technique is different from what he usually does. The green in the character is painted on top of the black and Banksy would paint it behind the black and keep open spaces in the black layer to let the green through. He would first paint the black layer for reference and paint the colored bits, then repaint the black layer again for the end result. A good example of his technique is in this video: www.instagram.com/tv/CMAHrGPFV2V/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== But this is only my 2 cents ;-)

Banksy Tree Mural โข North London, by slartibartfast on Mar 18, 2024 12:13:58 GMT 1, Agree, the tree is perfectly fine, it's been pollarded and will look its best in a few months. But the message is terific though even though the particular tree is alive and well.

Banksy Tree Mural โข North London, by revert on Mar 18, 2024 12:23:43 GMT 1, I don't dislike it aesthetically but don't understand the piece. The tree's obviously not dead, it's just winter. It will be full of bud soon and leaves in summer. The tree is being looked after. What am I missing? It does feel like something's missing in the narrative. Cryptic. A bit random to pick St. Patrick's day without a link/narrative, other than green leaves.

Some of the best stuff has no obvious meaning, just great placement and/or use of street furniture/objects.

Not a fan of that, street piece is great though. I'd say that's a drawing that inspired a street piece though rather than its a print of the street piece.

If anyone happened to pick up a VIP print and has buyers remorse, as well as an inexplicable urge to make an almost total loss - please call me. And I can be discreet, just ask anyone.

Banksy Tree Mural โข North London, by drip on Mar 18, 2024 14:22:45 GMT 1, Some folk can be quite sniffy and blasรฉ about stuff like this, but just take a moment to consider the planning, skill, and effort that went into, not only throwing up a stencil and a tonne of green goop; but also to do it without getting caught, AND to make it look decent when it's done.
And if you still don't find it impressive, think back to all the times you've felt dread over having to paint the garden fence.

You only get one chance to get this right and for me the final product is a visual masterpiece.
