Banksy (Bristol, 1974) is an English artist and writer, considered one of the greatest exponents of street art, whose true identity still remains unknown. His works are often satirical and concern topics such as politics, culture and ethics. His activities as a political activist and director are also known. Banksy's street art is satirical and subversive in nature. His works combine dark humor with stencil graffiti. His politically and socially critical murals have appeared on city streets, walls and bridges around the world. Banksy's work was born in the Bristol underground scene, which saw artists and musicians collaborate. Banksy says he was inspired by 3D, a graffiti artist who later became a founding member of the English band Massive Attack. Banksy displays his art on publicly visible surfaces. He does not sell photographs or reproductions of his street graffiti, but auctioneers have been known to try to sell his street art on the spot and leave the problem of its removal in the hands of the winning bidder.
