H_ 81 cm L_ 20 cm Banksy, born in 1974, is an emblematic British artist of contemporary street art, whose identity remains deliberately unknown. Internationally recognized for his urban interventions, mainly using stencils, he has developed a powerful body of work combining art and commitment. His creations, both accessible and deeply symbolic, question universal themes such as power, war, freedom, consumer society and the excesses of the modern world, with irony and a critical spirit. His instantly recognizable style, often in black and white with splashes of color, has given rise to iconic images such as Girl with Balloon, Flower Thrower and Love is in the Bin.
