Banksy Safari in London , by durkris on Aug 10, 2024 11:59:44 GMT 1, Right, my official theory is as simple as this:
His last outing at Glastonbury got some backlash, even from the Home Secretary, saying that he trivialised the channel crossings, I saw the same sentiments online in places.
During all this unrest in the UK, instead of being political, heโs just painting animals.
Nothing else to it. On the last day, we wonโt get a big reveal or explanation, we wonโt get some big statement on the world, or society, just another animal.
But then again Banksy has always received backlash, he usually loves it. Maybe heโs older and wiser now.

Banksy Safari in London , by Lroy on Aug 10, 2024 12:13:18 GMT 1, Looks like a Banksy copycat to me and certain elements are not right. 1. Finishing on the tail is shocking 2. Positioning is not great (too quick, easy and obvious) 3. Lacks the motion of other safari works โฆand finally, it is a cat (not a leopard / cheetah etc.) and that just seems too โdomesticโ for the safari theme. If it is a Banksy, then he was out all night and only remembered at 6am this morning he was meant to do something so just made this up. Copycat. Very nice. The belly seems a square โฆ or unfinished .. Amateur โs stencil !

I agree, I think it's such a strong simple and effective idea and an important corrective for street art to move away from the massive production heavy towerblock mural that dominates the culture these days. Impressive as they often are, the scale and resources needed to produce them leave the public nothing to do but passively applaud.
This technique has the capacity to inspire people not usually engaged in art, to go out and have a crack themselves, it was how the scene initially grew and developed. The fact it's Banksy getting back to basics after the grand and ambitious "events" with multiple partners and producers and mega budgets, is really refreshing. More of this please.

Banksy Safari in London , by inefficiency of on Aug 10, 2024 13:02:35 GMT 1, Well that is easily the worst one so far. Worst stencil, but I like the interaction with the wooden board. Being low down, accessible and on flimsy plyboard, however, I feel this will be gone or dogged just as quick as the wolf.

Banksy Safari in London , by Not 4 The Thril on Aug 10, 2024 13:26:34 GMT 1, I have really enjoyed waking up every day to a new Banksy image- what a treat! The goat, elephants, monkeys, wolf and pelicans all had great placement within their environment.

Banksy Safari in London , by Londown 01 on Aug 10, 2024 13:27:31 GMT 1, Continuing the observation about the VIEWER:
Work 5 (Birds): has the observer actually realise that something is going on, although her face suggests she doesn't understand or know the extent of it Work 6 (Cat): again somebody just passing the stencil, this time with an e-bike, another piece of modern technology
Now it is 6 out of 6: doubt that all of these photos are taken exactly that way to make them look cooler or give them depth. We'll see though ...

Banksy Safari in London , by PC Baby on Aug 10, 2024 14:02:34 GMT 1, Can I be his apprentice, pretty please ?! ๐ ๐ you already modelled as the elephant becoming a zebra I guess so why not ๐ I told you before loui I'm not a zebra - with or without stripes! ๐
..but I believe I have the perfect qualifications, because I'm 75 going on 116, my eyesight is crap (good pre-requisite for cutting fingers rather than stencils), and I'm not good with heights, so ladder-skills are exceptional. I could be the very first scholar in a 'Banksy Academy' - not that I'd ever graduate, mind, as I easily forget everything that happened yesterday (or even an hour ago)! The upshot of that is that I am still young at heart! ๐

๐ Sorry you made the trip, but good to confirm. Not the first time โArty Farty 15โ has made stuff up. There was this one involving the Big Issue from Cut & Run that was in particularly bad taste. urbanartassociation.com/post/2238551/thread They should have been banned for this, clearly only here to troll. Does this forum actually get moderated?
