Loving the new Banksy’s

srn63

I hate street art, it makes everywhere look so run down and tacky.

Me too !!!

In France where I am some of the bridges over the motorways are wood-pannelled and have black silhouette animal cut-outs. I love these because they always cheer me up.
The current Banksys remind me of those.

He must be using pre-prepared paper silhouettes to get them done so quickly.

(or whatever the right word is for paper with the image cut out inside it ready!)

yes, it did look like stencils may be made prior to

I quite like all of them

Another Banksy fan here. They have made me smile, so different, random and with humour.

Sorry, just don't get what is so wonderful about these which could be done with a stencil and a spray gun.

Now this is what I call street art, just amazing.

Those are great, but Banksy’s latest is also more detailed …

I just don't really rate those stencils at all. But these make me smile. So clever and so skilled.

Absolutely loving all of the new Banksy’s 👌

I believe he was using a scaffold type vehicle, there was a photo of this at one of the sites of a new Banksy last week .

I love his work.

I find his art a bit ‘"Emperor's New Clothes’ - people say they love him because they think they have to, he’s seen as ‘cool & relevant’ - he’s been stencilling for around 25 years now so a bit last century.
I only like about 2 or 3 of his offerings - the rest? I’ve seen better graffiti on kids school books.

I love all kinds of street art, and Banksy is great. I often wonder how he manages to do it, - in the middle of the night presumably. Long may he continue. It cheers us up.
I don't think I have to love him, I just really do....strange comment.

Let him be. All graffiti artists have to start somewhere. I like some and not others.
I’ve seen some really memorable trompe l’oeil graffiti in Portugal and France. Perhaps Banksy could do some of that too.

Nice new one! Most apt so I hope they leave it up. My favourites are still the chip shops and the booth with fishes swimming.

He’s been around for 25 years.

I like the way his art pops up all over the place and is often unpredictable as well as occasionally very apt.

I know it won’t show the pictures, but I wanted to say I agree with you chestnut although I do rate Banksy I think these are incredible….

Yes, but there doesn’t seem to be the same enthusiasm for the newer graffiti artists.

I absolutely loathe the usual graffiti plastered all over inner city walls. Hideous looking tat. I would really love it if they painted beautiful landscapes, and the city walls were covered in mountains, trees, lakes, rivers and flowers. Even animals and insects. Just imagine how lovely that would look in a horrible concrete jungle and it would cheer everyone up.

I think it's lovely to have the landscapes (and you do get some) as well as Banksy.

This is one of my favourite Banksy, tho not graffiti. Thoughtful.

I think that the goal of Banksy's work is to make you think. It's not about the quality of the product.

This x 100
I love his work and enjoy thinking about the 'hidden meaning'

another one thought provoking but a light touch.
