Well, are you going to find some original Banksy’s at these museums? No you are not. You are going to see reproductions of the stencilled artwork that Banksy had placed somewhere on some wall. And the museums are all under their building’s roof. But aren’t Banksy’s stencilled little doodles on walls out under the sun, or moon? Yes they are…
So Banksy, the anti-establishment activist, in his secret form, instead of fighting the system, the establishment, he is contributing to the growth and development of the same. And he is making beaucoup bucks from it. And I do not blame him. I advocate for artists making money, as much money as they can. After all we do our art to sell it, at least most of us do. But, come on, hypocrisy is something very disdainful and for an anti-establishment guerrilla activist these moves are totally hypocritical.
So, if one morning you arise to find that Banksy left one of his stencilling’s on your front wall, don’t think you’ve a Banksy. No, you first must run it through his agency called Pest Control. If they authenticate it, they will then issue you a Certificate of Authenticity, which I imagine you must have to pay for, as everyone wants their cut, their piece of the anti-establishment pie. Now, with the COA in hand you can re-sell your authentic Banksy and continue greasing the wheels of the capitalist economy, i.e. the establishment, the one Banksy is fighting.
And don’t forget his online store where you will find dozens of anti-establishment articles that you can buy to enrich those fighting against the establishment. And sincerely, I do not think Banksy is a person, and much less an artist. He, or They, or whatever, is a marketing company with brilliant ideas, not for art, but for merchandising.
So if you are a struggling artist, take a look at Banksy’s business model, you too can become an anti-establishment rich capitalist.
And, by the by, entrance to his museums, on the average, is approximately 30£.

He’s a good businessman, or a group of business people, definitely not an artist but a corporation…

Francisco, la tienda de campaña es parte de la foto y el decorado?
O ha sido algo que alguien ha colocado ahí sin más?
Ya me dirás.
Un abrazo🌷

Es parte de la ilusión que quieren crear en estos museos con piezas falsas Ivonne. Es todo una tomadura de pelo.

One morning a Banksy mural appeared in our next seaside town. There were so many folks streaming to see it that you hardly could photograph it because of the masses of people. We returned a couple of days later and photographed it
It doesn’t matter what’s all about Banksy, we love this art.
The mural we photographed is now vanished under the gravel the sea brought in.
Happy weekend

Oh yeah, we did! Hehehe… if anyone wants to be an anti-establishment activist, first develop a good business plan! You’ll soon be as rich as the man, but you’ll still be an activist solving the problem of poverty, your own! 😊😃😆

Greetings da-Al and thank you for the invitation to do a guest blog post on your site. I would be thrilled. I am an artist and would wrote a post expressing my views on art and on my unique style of painting/drawing which I call «Surreal-Expressionism». I will email you as per your instructions.
All the best,
Francis
