Banksy

..has donated his latest artwork to Bristol Boys Club to resolve the tug-of-war between the various parties:

I don't get the fuss about his pieces. They're a bit like oversized greetings cards. Clever ideas but no real depth.

 

However people stampeding to hack them off whichever wall he's just sprayed them onto is a bit unseemly in my opinion when he's put them there for the benefit of the whole community.

Can the class please tell me if its cool or not to like Banksy?

 

I'm collossally disinterested so will follow the sheeple here.

I like em. Something different with a bit of mystery about it.

 

Art is subjective,I mean a fucking 10 year old could draw a Lowry for example,but people love it.

Every tom dick or harry has copied that style and you can now buy all sorts of tat with his designs on it. There is even a Mancsy

I like them but i just think there's more hype than substance... and a 10 year old couldn't draw a Lowry, that's the sort of thing that folk who know nothing about art say.

I like them. My mother has one I've got my eye on

I'd not have a Lowry in my house though. Art is subjective

You don't have to know anything about art to recognise hunched over stick men and doodles of buildings.

gathering that we are not talking about WayneCramp.....Who the frig is Banksy ??

Southern twat.

 

Kearsley twat.

I like Banksy. Tried to get hold of one of those £20 notes he did. My mate has some Banksy on canvas which look good.

Erm, nobody knows who this Banksy is, do they?

 

How do they know the note's from him?

 

''oh look, it's signed 'Banksy' so it must be genuine''

 

Gullible twats.

I was given a print of Lowry's Going To The Match when I retired. Love it.

My dads got one on his living room.

 

You both only like it because its got Bunden on it.

 

The rest are nothing but doodles of shite scenery.

I like some of his stuff, but I don't have a clue how folk know if it's real or not.

 

Anyway, his art isn't a patch on some of the original "Youris" which can always be recognised by the top hat detail

And all my work is genuinely free.

 

I ain't got £20m in my bank, courtesy of hedge-fund manager philistines buying up my works...

Er no, he did 5000 copies of a 10 pound note but with Princess Di on them. He threw them out at festivals and various public places and some were going on Ebay for between 50 and 200.

Bit like Banksy copied Blek Le Rat.

 

The guy is a fake.

I mustn't be too harsh on Lowry really,he owns a smashing hotel.

 

He must have sold a lot of paintings to buy a hotel that big.

I don't think I know anyone who doesn't have 'going to the match' in ones casa.

Which bank does he work for?

There's a documentary about a bloke who did that, he filmed himself in search of banksy and ends up having a go himself and making money out if it, much to banksy's annoyance

 

Called "Exit Through The Gift Shop"

I meant the note of provenance saying it (the artwork) belonged to the club. How can he say he is who he is if no-one knows who he is?

Ah right.  I suppose anybody could say that really.
