The street-artist best known to us as Banksy must be applauded for his talent! I think is work is absolutely mind-blowing; it is incredible how thought-provoking and beautiful his creations are.
It is evident that he puts a lot of thought and detail into his work, which, as a result, gets us thinking about, questioning and appreciating life. It must be fantastic seing the man at work, planing and producing great art. I would be interested in knowing the thought-process that goes into his art - how does your mind work, Banksy? Also, how does he find the perfect location to make his point stand out? And how does he manage to speak to all of us through his "graffiti"?
"Er ist sehr begabt", we would say in German. His recent work, called 'The Girl with the Pierced Eardrums' is one that blew my mind. The original work by Johannes Vermeer (The Girl with a PearlEarring) has always intrigued me, but Banksy's twist on the matter is so great. Unfortunately, this work has already been defaced, which is a shame.
