Insane detail
Very clever
Twisted original
One of my personal favorites
Classic Banksy
House of Chimps..... sound familiar?A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to receive some tickets for the Banksy exhibition in Bristol. Thankfully these tickets omitted the five and half hour que... Phew!
It was Banksy's first exhibition since 2000 and there was loads of talk about it - it didn't disappoint. The physical pieces of work aside, the whole exhibition had a mysterious vibe to it. Where else would the staff not know they would be working on it until the day before after being hired through the job centre, and a drunk looking Ronald McDonald would magically appear in the middle of the night, as if ready to jump from the building....
It was so much more than 'street art'. The ground floor took form as a weird pet shop, with the rest of the museum then turning to a more classic/naturalist form of art, and a kind of treasure hunt for other hidden and obscure pieces of Banky's work. Take a look - these are just some of may favorite pieces.
