Banksy is a semi-anonymous British artist who is famous for his street art as seen above. My favorite characteristic of Banksy's work is that it is done anonymously. He doesn't do it for the fame or the credit, he does it to express himself. Also, I admire his sense of humor and his ability to transform his political opinions and cultural influences into satirical works of graffiti art. I came across Banksy searching for graffiti artists on we-make-art-not-money.com.
The three examples I have selected are my favorite of Banky's work. The first work I like because of the pop culture reference to Pulp Fiction, which is one of my favorite movies. The second work is a comical piece which I enjoy because of its wit and originality. The third is a satirical statement made by the artist, which I found appropriate being that we just turned in an assignment on satires and irony.
