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 Deleted 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?
A bit random to pick St. Patrick's day without a link/narrative, other than green leaves.

Banksy Tree Mural โข North London, by PS on Mar 18, 2024 12:31:39 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 has a whole genre of work that uses ready made elements. They often don't have a deep message, but are just fun or clever in their positioning.

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.
I imagine the VIP print is about as real as the pdfs we mention a lot Interesting. Is the blossom on each print hand-sprayed to provide a unique finish and therefore more pleasurable viewing experience?

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.

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