What do you think about graffity?

And especially about famous Banksy? Is there anyone who doesn`t like his pointed caustic images???
I admire him and his ability to combine art and social!

Graffiti is an insult to art. It's not an art form...at all !

But then again: what is art?

Some of it is quite good, I think.
In some places it livens up the neighbourhood, almost a shame when it's removed again.

Haven't heard of of this person "Banksy", I'm afraid.

Don`t agree with you. Of course, if we speak about ugly inscriptions and offensive picture-it isn`t art.....i mean another graffiti. Did you hear about Banksy, Hugo Kaagman, Dolk???
Yesterday 'The Cans Festival' was opened in London railway tunnel, and there you can see works of famous Graffity artists.
My opinion-it can be called ART completely! More than.

hallo
, Banksy is phat artist, his ideas and realization are fine.
i have got his images at my phone as a theme. suppose that talks everythng)./

graffity is appreciated when it is ably. who will be disput against..
it is part of street life, the part of hooliganism flow)))
image can be painted over and again be created and it is not destruction of work of art but the life of image, life of street artist. culture. and when you meet the works like Banksy do, you think - hm, that is art in addition..!-

though i wouldnot be very happy to find any pic at my car) so that is the question.

2Rica Kosta- whats your fav pic&?

Anton i o-agree with you completely! Wink
well, about my favourite works...They all are so expressive, meaningful and full of sarcasm, that i think i love all of them Very happy Good sense of humor, Banksy, respect!
I like his drawings and paintings too, his handwriting, confident lines and splendid sense of colour make me think that what he does must be called as ART.

I agree with the majority here. As art is an expression of ones self. I have seen some beautiful work done. I think it also adds to some of the exteriors of the buildings they are put on! Very happy
