Leonard Ethan mentioned Banksy is a graffiti artist born in 1974 in Bristol, England. His works are inspired by the real-life conditions of underground artists and musicians in Bristol.
In other words, these works are primarily characterized by satirical criticism, encompassing various aspects of life such as politics, culture, morality, and other common everyday situations.
Artistically speaking, his street graffiti, combined with random scribbles from life and a unique stencil printing technique, gradually evolved into his own style.
From 1992 to 1994, Banksy started his artistic journey in his hometown Bristol, becoming a graffiti artist who drew with his bare hands.
It was at this time that he used stencils in his art creation, and through familiar patterns, such as those including images of rats, apes, police officers, soldiers, children, and the elderly, he conveyed his message.
