Banksy

I just wanted to share today an artist I like. He is a Graffiti artist but does other work and he also has a gallery. He often uses ironic and humorous juxtaposition of imagery - mixing old idyllic images with war, crime, and poverty. His work is steeped in social commentary; but often not without a sense of humor. He has snuck his art into the Louvre in Paris as well...
