The artist I chose is Banksy. He is a anonymous street artist based in England. Though his identity is unknown, many have speculated him to be Robin Gunningham, born on 28 July 1973. His work mainly consists of street art stenciled onto the sides of buildings and walls around the world, though he has also created more conventional paintings and sculptures. He is known for the dark and political humor displayed within his art. His work grew out of the Bristol Underground Scene, and he has stated that one of his biggest inspirations is 3D, a graffiti artist and founding member of musical group Massive Attack. His first works appeared in the early 90s
I like his work because of its humor and stylization. His work often depicts scenes commentating on modern issues and life. I think it is cool that he has been able to create well known art while remaining fairly anonymous himself. Website: https://www.banksy.co.uk/
