BANKSY is a well-known pseudo-anonymous[1] English graffiti artist. He is believed to be a native of Yate, Greater Bristol[1] and born in 1974,[2] but there is substantial public uncertainty about his identity and personal and biographical details.[3] According to Tristan Manco, Banksy "was born in 1974 and raised in Bristol, England. The son of a photocopier engineer, he trained as a butcher but became involved in graffiti during the great Bristol aerosol boom of the late 1980s."[4] His artworks are often-satirical pieces of art that encompass topics such as politics, culture, and ethics. His vandalism, which combines graffiti writing with a distinctive stencilling technique similar to the late 1970s Parisian stencil artist Blek le Rat, has appeared in cities around the world.[5]
Banksy does not sell photos of street graffiti or mount exhibitions of screenprints in commercial galleries.[6]
