Banksy

"Banksy: The Enigma Behind the Lens." Born in 1974 in Bristol, England, Banksy, a pseudonymous England-based street artist, political activist, and film director, began his active years of film-making in 2010. He is best known for his satirical and subversive documentary film, "Exit Through the Gift Shop," which earned him an Academy Award nomination and delivered a clever critique of the modern art world, a genre he often explores. Banksy's authorial style, much like his street art, is marked by its dark humor, distinct stenciling techniques, and public statements about capitalism, politics, and ethics. Banksy, ever the elusive figure, continues to question and challenge societal norms through his thought-provoking art and films, leaving a trail of mystery and intrigue in his wake.
