Banksy, a street artist who is often referred to as the “Art Terrorist”, is one of the most controversial artist of 21st century. Rising to prominence in the late 1990s, Banksy continues to make a mark in the art world today with his testy pieces and unorthodox exhibition spaces. He is believed to have been born around 1974 in Bristol, England, however this information has not yet been validated due to the artists’ concealed existence. Because of this, his identity remains anonymous - despite heightened speculations. Nonetheless, his guerrilla-style artwork speaks depths about society and often challenges the status-quo while also inadvertently helping to transform the way in which people perceive street art. As a result, many people today now see this raw style of art as one that is reputable and noteworthy.
