Banksy or not Banksy, that is the question?, by njr911 on Sept 10, 2007 14:26:32 GMT 1, if you look at the lines in the last picture, you can clearly see its stencilled. also if you compare the cutting technique of these lines to the recent "girl being frisked" in glastonbury. i believe it becomes obvious who did this, mr B. also, in the last few street pieces it does appear that he has been experimenting with shading in his stencils.
I agree. Reminds me of the Glasto Girl style.
I say Banksy!

Bullet hole pierced the vest, religion (being an angel) couldn't keep her immune from facing death?

Banksy or not Banksy, that is the question?, by cashman on Sept 10, 2007 14:28:02 GMT 1, Could easily be Banksy, but I'm not 100% sure. What is the (usually with Banksy, obvious) meaning of it?
without meaning to sound ignorant, what was the obvious meaning of his last street piece??
I dont think he was telling us he has a giant blue c*ck ?

Funny that, cos the more I look at it the more I'm convinced it is a Banksy.

Id like to agree, but ive never seem work by AM using cans.
He seems to aproach his work through the fine art route rather than street art IMO

Banksy or not Banksy, that is the question?, by danvnuk on Sept 10, 2007 14:45:50 GMT 1, I'm going with Banksy as well - his style seems to have changed quite a bit in the last few pieces attributed to him, so wouldn't suprise me if this was his. It's certainly a nice piece of work.
As for meaning, some kind of comment on gun crime, the angel looks like the statues of angels you have in graveyards. wearing a bullet proof vest..the skull with the baseball cap a Hamlet reference - mourning someone's loss....
perhaps the point is 'even angels need bullet proof vests in the more choice parts of London nowadays'

Who knows JJ. But check out the detail on the wings, to me there is just something very micallef in the way they are coming away from her body.

I thought it was a comment/challenge on all the proposals to preserve his street work whilst still buffing everything else, you know the whole graffiti bad, Banksy good thing that councils are doing.

He also didn't sign the last one either...
Could this mean no more signature and going on style alone?
What a great move that would be.

I thought the meaning behind the 'Blue c**k' piece was Banksy is seen in some artistic circles as a 'proper' artist now, in this case a classic fine art type as signified by the French looking painter dude.
But - his output in his eyes, is childish, cheeky and even obscene, a million miles away from fine art. (as typified by the blue c**k)
It's kind of like the Morons piece - the same message - poking fun
