A graffiti artist who hails from Bristol, UK, Banksy's artwork has appeared throughout London and other locations around the world.  In keeping with the spirit of anonymity and defiance, which embodies street art, he has cleverly kept his identity a secret.

Banksy, despite not calling himself an artist, has been considered by many a genius.  In combining various traditional techniques employed by street artists, he creates not only a distinctive look, but is more importantly able to convey bold messages against social injustices.  His typical in-your-face images have a heavy dose of humour compelling us to reflect on consequences of own actions whilst making us laugh.
