Banksy Unmasked
BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Paper 'reveals Banksy's identity'
Now we know who he is, can he be arrested please?
The country requires him to dig deep to repay councils for the countless clean up operations around the country as a direct result of his illegal vandalism.
If it is right that it is him, lets hope his next piece of work is on his cell wall

I have several banksy originals, and a load of prints.
Dont believe everything you read- especially in the daily (hate) mail
I assume you mean at the cans festival?
That wasnt Banksy- that installation with the red GTO & clio in the waterloo tunnel was by an artist called BANDIT. The piece on the wall behind (black background, hoodie with a knife) was indeed by Banksy

The tunnel in London looks fantastic! It's not all banksy, of course, but there's a lot of good art in there.
For a commoner like myself, with no "art" aspirations or knowledge, it looks fantastic. It's clear even to me that many of the grafitti artists are extremely talented in their field.

Just shows how today people are willing to accept/proclaim mediocrity as excellence, celebrity from borderline average.
Is there a lack of real talent or have standards dropped, has the level at which art or performance is deemed to be top quality been lowered.
Or maybe i'm just too old to get it.

Followed his work for a while. I've never been able to buy an original on POW, the site has always crashed when BANKSY's are released. I've got a few other pieces from POW though. My favourite is 'The Hick' by Hewlitt. I didn't pay 3k and I won't sell it for 260k

I quite like the Banksy stuff, art by its very nature is all in the eye of the beholder so it cannot be claimed to be good or bad.
Std "shaz 4 baz" graffiti found on motorway bridges is not in the same league as the banksy stuff.

How can you believe what you've written and then state one is not in the same league as the other?
Surely everything must be subjective. What is and what isn't art?

Art is subjective and worthy of critique and comment. Illegal vandalism isnt.

I would agree with that, but for the fact that Banksy's illegal vandalism is protected, preserved and flogged off wherever found. Shaz 4 Baz is covered over or blasted off.

[QUOTE=astraboy;8005493]agreed. This:
is vandalism
If Tracey Emin presented that as art then the art establishment would believe her and fawn all over her. The Sun would proclaim it s h i * e and we'd all agree but it would still be termed art.
