Want to know more about Banksy? Here are five important facts: his background; why he matters; his art; his audience and his anonymity. Banksy has deliberately made himself enigmatic and like all enigmas, this invites us to think, to wonder, to want to understand.
Banksy employs humour to scathing effect as he addresses issues – primarily to do with alienation – that are, deep down, quite tragic. His works are being taken off the streets and into galleries.
