Great production. Thanks, I really enjoyed watching this.

[@WesleySnipes3568]

Solid production & the Soundtrack has some Sick Beats!👊🏽

[@lesliejackson149]

43:10 I was so pleased see Jean-Michel Basquiat mentioned but I had no idea how much he influenced Banksy. "Tribute to Basquiat" at 44:40... Respect! I watched a documentary about Basquiat on YT and it certainly impressed me. SUCH a unique talent... and taken away far too soon. Sigh....

[@sidensvans67]

Fabulous . Banksy .

[@concentricvoid]

I thought Banksy was more of a novelty artist but I appreciate him a lot more after seeing this documentary. It's difficult to remain an outsider artist though when you are making all that money.

[@lesliejackson149]

Research further and you'll find that Banksy hasn't profited from any monies. They've been distributed to charities. Banksy's social purpose remains untainted. Bless him.

1.52.44 the bird animatronic in its cage is explicit in expressing how I felt when I changed from archaeology to an office job, so I wouldn't have to move/have time (as a single mother) to support my daughter through a difficult time...but in retrospect it finally became bad (as I got increasingly depressed). Life. Edit: also love the animal transport truck...mixing in "cute/valuable" and food/unworthy animals. They all have emotions and awareness and the same value.

Graffiti was never originally part of, nor intended to be a component of, Hip Hop, Rap, or Break Dancing. The association of graffiti with these cultural movements was a contrived, scripted, and commercialized effort orchestrated by Henry Chalfant. This fusion was prominently presented in his documentary "Style Wars," which aimed to package and sell the interconnectedness of these distinct elements. Chalfant's work effectively marketed graffiti as an integral part of the Hip Hop culture, even though it had developed independently and had its own unique origins and significance prior to being linked with the Hip Hop scene. In reality, most early pioneers of graffiti did not listen to Rap or Hip Hop music. Instead, their musical tastes leaned towards rock, pop, and R&B. The graffiti culture had developed independently with its own unique origins and significance, separate from the Hip Hop scene. Chalfant's work effectively marketed graffiti as an integral part of the Hip Hop culture, despite these distinct and divergent roots.

I knew of Banksy before he was worldwide mainstream because of a random run in with his work on a wall in Switzerland while attending a small watchmaking school in the early 2000's. Its not a very well known fact around the world but Switzerland has more spray paint on walls all over the country that its shocking when you first see it in person. Its unexpected to say the least. You can be in the middle of the swiss Alps in literally the middle of nowhere and you will still see street art on walls. Its bananas. In the mid 2000's Graffiti in Switzerland was tolerated by the powers that be. It was considered art and that was what was unexpected. Imagine driving up this beautiful picturesque Swiss scenery and seeing a huge FUCK BUSH mural over the entrance of a Swiss underground highway tunnel probably 100ftx30ft of paint. Memorable to say the least. What I saw was some of Banksys monkeys at a train station. It was witty and was way ahead of its time in my humble opinion. I became a fan instantly. Banksy had this magic ability to bring what was considered unwanted vandalism into the realm of wanted wall art all over the world. He made people against graffiti want graffiti and that is his magic.

@rolexmd69 in Switzerland, how was your experience with the watch school? I've genuinely wanted to go and learn at some point in my life, found & read a few horror stories of people being scammed, just was curious about your experience 🤘

[@kdizzystl]

Ru sure it didn't say f Putin? Maybe Xi or Un or dos Santos or MBS or IDK. You're probably right. It definitely said f Bush.

Street Art is the Art of people in the museum of the people

[@lukenakahara7272]

Interesting 🧐… Shalom (Peace) ✌️ always.

[@lukenakahara7272]

I’ve always wanted to perform this stunt… only to restore it like the Japanese… with gold glue. We do that with Pottery.

[@abraxasjinx5207]

Graff writers and artists who don't respect stencil art are lost, pearl-clutching purists. You can see the knowledge and practice behind the form; don't hate just because someone had foresight to plan a piece ahead of time and minimize their risk.

[@lesliejackson149]

There's, what I feel, is a beautiful art installation that like Banksy, has many talking. Pls look into "Where the rubber meets the road art installation". A very apropos and poignant statement in today's need to take care of our environment. I adore art that makes one stop, think and discuss.... if not shake other people up. Hope you enjoy.

Come to Athens, I will show you more.. LOL

[@skysurfyou]

Kilroy is the original street artist.

[@chrilin5107]

31.34 think this is part of what I liked best at the time....because that wall and the politics/religious conflict in this area are so infuriating and it's all too easy to be judged as antisemitic if you argue in anyway against the annexation or situation for the Palestinians.

[@chrilin5107]

1.52.44 sick 🤯 edit...and finally how come I'm not surprised the shredded girl (still lacking the important words "fight the fighters not their wars") with balloon increased in value after? We live in a diseased system of money over all 💔😔

[@bobsthea]

if gravity is good in art point of view of general public, i don't mind, if it shows no meaning at all, that's vandalism and should be criminalize

[@drmidnight680-kz2le]

Saying that the more technical art is not good, what are you trying to say, who are you talking to..answer talking to my people and i know who they are. What trying to say? Answer every single painting has it's own special story, in order to know it, someone that knows will have to explain it. If all artists made wrt like Banksey, that would be terrible. Banksey is some other artist about comment @46:00 by scape martinez. Sad political statements like protest music are ok. Different artist might want to paint what he dreams up Why would someone be an artist to dream about politics?to make people feel sad? Why would other artist want to dream another artist's dreams.

Sam Hyde made him.

[@sandrajones1609]

Though a few may possess artistic talent the fact is... Graffiti is visual Pollution , others leaving there STUFF for those who come after to deal with, leaving what amounts to garbage. 😐 It IS vandalism. PERIOD. Self Absorbed canned crayon scribbles and nonsense. I don't want to walk into a toilet stall every time I leave my domicile. art is Self expression with basic common courtesy. Life is Art.

[@WesleySnipes3568]

What a bleak attitude, but then again. That’s what makes us all different. Graffiti grips me hard and brings me back to a different era in time and engages a very different anti-establishment mentality that has been with me since childhood. Don’t tell me these pieces fail to speak a loud message to you….

[@dfresh4009]

You’re wack

[@kssb9050]

Careful, u might inspire a lot of ppl to spray their art on the wall all for you to see xD

[@patsirianni7984]

Ask yourself with a can of spray paint could I be able to paint the same thing if the answer is no then the artist who did it had to have talent .
