The Invisible Banksy

admin — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 21:17:33 +0000

I just found a fantastic article for fans of Banksy Graffiti on Blek Le Rat, the French Artist who Banksy cited as being one of his biggest influences.
Blek Le Rat is such an influence on Banksy Art, that the anonymous artist was quoted as saying “Every time I think I’ve painted something slightly original, I find out that Blek le Rat has done it as well. Only twenty years earlier.”
Better yet, the French Artist is displaying new works which includes a piece called “The Invisible Man”, a tribute to Banksy and a stunning piece of work.
Here at Banksy Posters, we’re currently wishing we were Parisians so we would have the oppertunity to see this amazing artwork!

Laughing all the way to the Banksy

A lady in Melbourne is thanking her great taste and good fortune, after buying the classic Banksy Chimp with sign “Laugh now but one day we’ll be in charge” stencil.
The canvas was bought for $1000 back in 2002 and has just been sold for $180K at Bonham’s Urban Art Auction.
The lucky (former) owner of the Banksy Art, who prefers to remain anonymous, worked in London for seven years and would regularly see his works from the tube train on her way to work.
She visited Banksy’s studio and bought the Chimp canvas from Banksy’s Manager, one of two left from a series of five works.
Here at Banksy Posters, we’re priming our time travel machine and preparing to go back and snap up the remaining canvas, see you soon!

Banksy leaves New York!

With his Village Pet Store closed at the end of October, it seems Banksy is slowly leaving New York!
The huge Banksy Graffiti of the Rat with the Umbrella and the slogan “Let them eat crack” has sadly been partially whitewashed over.
It seems that Banksy’s rental of the wall space was decidedly short-term at only a month!
Here at Banksy Posters, we pass our last respects to the passing of another fantastic piece of Banksy Art!

Denial of the Gray Ghost!

admin — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 18:40:51 +0000

In New Orleans, Fred Radtke has been at war with Graffiti Artists for over Ten Years.
Thanks to his “Operation Clean Sweep”, a non-profitable organisation, thousands of tags and images have been destroyed, blocked out by gray acrylic primer.
Rather than paint the walls, Mr Radtke and his team simply blot out the offending tags or murals, leaving gray blobs, earning himself the title of “The Gray Ghost”.
New Orleans was the site for a wealth of new works of Banksy Art this Summer, but sadly, most of these images have since been defaced or removed.
Mr Radtke has denied that he is responsible for buffing the Banksy Graffiti, but images have been obtained that are said to show the Gray Ghost at work on Banksy mural on St. Claude Avenue, an image of a child with a refrigerator for a kite.
Mr Radtke refuses to comment, asides from stating that Artists must go through a “Mural Review Board”, something Banksy apparently forgot to do.
Thankfully there are plenty of pictures of the amazing pieces of work, made in New Orleans this year and an array of Banksy Posters and Prints, mercifully free of uniform blobs of gray!

Great footage from the strange and bizarre Village Pet Store

I think this is one of the best videos of Banksy’s Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill.

Here at Banksy Posters, we like to have a hoedown on a Monday morning, so the music is just perfect!

The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill. From Banksy: New Yorkers dont care about art, they care about pets. So Im exhibiting them instead. I wanted to make art that questioned our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming, but it ended up as chicken nuggets singing. I took all the money I made exploiting an animal in my last show and used it to fund a new show about the exploitation of animals. If its art and you can see it from the street, I guess it could still be considered street art.”
