Banksy is a pseudonymous England-based street
artist, political activist, and film director whose real name and identity remain unconfirmed and the subject of speculation. Active since the 1990s, his satirical
street art and subversive epigrams combine
dark humor with
graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique. His works of political and social commentary have appeared on streets, walls, and bridges throughout the world.
Banksy's work grew out of the Bristol underground scene, which involved collaborations between artists and musicians.
Banksy displays his art on publicly visible surfaces such as walls and self-built physical prop pieces.
Banksy no longer sells photographs

graffiti, but his public "installations" are regularly resold, often even by removing the wall they were painted on
