Fascinating exhibition of Banksy - street art icon!
Banksy, a graffiti artist and painter from Bristol, has achieved worldwide fame while remaining mysterious and anonymous. His work, impossible to miss, constantly questions the boundaries of art, regularly making headlines. The Mystery of Banksy – A Genius Mind is a unique exhibition presenting over 150 works by the artist, telling the story of his masterpieces and challenging the viewer to influence the world around them through art.
Graffiti, photographs, sculptures, video installations and prints on a variety of materials such as canvas, fabric, aluminium, FOREX® and Plexiglas have been made available specifically for this unique exhibition. The carefully planned exhibition environment offers a comprehensive overview and deep insight into the work of this brilliant and extraordinary artist. In line with Banksy's credo "Copyright is for losers" ©TM, the exhibition and the works presented therein are not authorised due to the anonymous status of the artist.

In the world of street art, no name causes such a sensation as Banksy - arguably the most famous and at the same time the most mysterious graffiti artist around the globe. A Briton in the 45-50 age range, he successfully keeps his identity deeply hidden, while his works gain recognition not only on the streets of global metropolises, but also at prestigious auctions. He is considered one of the most expensive contemporary artists!
Banksy, who moves people with his ironic, political, yet always poetic works, is an underground hero of street art. In 2009, when the people of Bristol were deciding whether Banksy’s works should remain in public spaces, a whopping 97% voted against their removal – a clear signal of support for his work. Banksy is a star whose shine extends far beyond the standards of the art market. In 2010, Time magazine included him for the first time in its list of the 100 most influential people in the world, alongside figures such as Barack Obama, Steve Jobs and Lady Gaga.
