Thank you for creating this topic.
I would like to follow with Banksy that I mentioned earlier. He is an anonymous street artist known for politically charged messages as well as other messages about life and the ironies of the modern world.
The fact that he remains anonymous is one of the reasons I like him. He is totally against the grain with this mindset. An anonymous artist who doesn’t want fame or money from his work and just wants his work to be shown without taking any credit. This goes so hard against the modern world in itself (and DEI) which is something that I find captivating and intriguing.
Some say that they know who he is (from England) but the fact that he doesn’t come forward to claim his fame is something that I find fascinating.
Let’s look at some of his work.
This one here i find interesting for a few reasons. This can be illustrating the idiom "sweep or hide your dirty deeds under the rug" or it can also be interpreted as 'another vail behind reality' - sort of like the scene from the Wizard of Oz. There's more i can say here but i'll leave it at that.
This one here is a classic. I call this "we have plans and then God has plans". I'll leave it at that too because there's more to say about this one too.
This is another great work. Instead of throwing a Molotov cocktail, he's throwing flowers. A beautiful message of peace in an angry world. I'm sure there's more to say here too.
This one speaks of tragedies of war where innocents die from egos of men.
This one is hilarious in portraying "love" in the modern world.
I mean he captured the addiction 100%.
That's all i got for now. I hope to remember more interesting art that i've seen during my life. I generally am fascinated by museums when i look at the old relics too and in that other church-art thread i got to see and touch some silver and gold crosses from (around) year 1300.
Anyway, carry on with any artful inspirations which may lead to more different works.
Thank you.
