Banksy, the enigmatic figure of contemporary street art, disrupts conventions and challenges perceptions worldwide. His provocative political statements have sparked revolutions in the art scene, yet his identity remains shrouded in mystery, adding to his myth. Transitioning from Bristol graffiti crews to global notoriety, Banksy's multi-layered stencils and satirical imagery redefine the boundaries of street art, inspiring awe and controversy alike.

His early influences, notably Blek Le Rat, laid the groundwork for Banksy's distinctive style, characterized by incisive social commentary. Banksy's works resonate across diverse mediums, from the streets to prestigious auction houses. Among those his prints, which authenticity is certified by Pest Control, his various open editions and his sculptures from Medicom are the most sought after.

From guerrilla exhibitions in Palestine to the dystopian wonderland of Dismaland, Banksy’s artworks invite viewers to question societal norms and engage with pressing issues. His audacious interventions, like shredding his own artwork (Girl With Balloon, 2021) at auction, blur the line between art and spectacle, captivating audiences worldwide.

In the face of global crises, Banksy's art takes on new significance, from poignant tributes to frontline workers to poignant reflections on environmental degradation. With each new creation, Banksy continues to captivate and challenge, leaving an indelible mark on the global art landscape.
