Contemporary Art Criticism, Interviews, Essays and Visual Politics
Banksy is one of the most recognizable names in contemporary street art. His work uses stencils, satire and public space to attack power, war, capitalism, surveillance and hypocrisy. He turns the street into a site of visual conflict.
Banksy’s anonymity is not a detail. It shapes the work, the market and the myth around it. The image appears in public, but the author remains unstable. This tension makes every work a question about visibility, authorship and control.
This tag collects articles and critical readings on Banksy, street art and political image-making. It also follows graffiti, public space, protest, the art market and the contradiction between anti-system gestures and global fame.
