Hi there, welcome to my page that focuses on additional information about the artist, Banksy. Banksy is well known for his street artwork on properties as his canvas and his controversial public stunts. What does not get discussed enough is his other choices of mediums. Such as drawings, and installations. One of his largest projects was a successful pop-up exhibition, Dismaland that showcased more than 50 artists he invited and his own new works. Dismaland was an inspired Disney theme but with the opposite attraction purpose, a heinous twist. After the exhibition, Banksy turned the project into a shelter for refugees. For this exhibition, Banksy adopted the term “Post modem-ism” (modernized term of post-modernism as a pun). The term is more technical compared to postmodernism. Another one of his successful projects is the Bristol City Museum or Banksy vs the Bristol Museum. Where Banksy gave his perspective on what he saw as the imagination of the world. His works are successful because of his widespread popularity.
