One Nation Under CCTV
I finally spotted a Banksy work while in London. I should find out where the rest of his stuff is located and go check them out live since I find this more interesting then visiting boring museums. For more details on the above work and better shots check this [Link]

banksy = art for idiots
2. Mark | February 2nd, 2009 at 12:25 am
everyone sees art differently.
3. Patrick | February 2nd, 2009 at 1:12 am
And Art for the intelligent is what?

an elephant painted with the same wallpaper as the wall to blend in the room…represents “the big issues some people choose to ignore”…wow genius!

Okay… you still didn’t answer my question. What do you label as “smart art”. Please, enlighten us all.

Wow Lexicon that’s a very stupid point of view to take. The good thing about art or any fine art is that all pieces are amazing in their own way and shouldn’t be said they are stupid by ignorant people such as yourself

There’s smart and stupid art? :P

11. dudeq8 | February 2nd, 2009 at 12:09 pm
nice one!
12. Patrick | February 2nd, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Maybe Lexicon will think twice before judging anything from now on.

No new Electonics stuff ?

Don’t think this is Banksy Mark, lol- just someone with a really wide paintbrush and some white emulsion.
Banksy would have painted an actual CCTV with YOU seeing yourself on it, with three heads and a sheepskin coat…..

You need to post about how It’s the peak of winter in London while in kuwait it’s already summer.

Lexicon- Due to your mature response to "art" I offer a mature response to you: YOU’RE an idiot.
How’s that for maturity?
Note the sarcasm.
Teach-It actually is a banksy, you see the man at the bottom posed as painting it? And to the side, a spray painted security camera pointed onto him.
I love his work. He’s a genius, and a master of sarcastic art.
Thanks for the post Mark!
19. teach | February 2nd, 2009 at 11:46 pm
I stand corrected!
20. Lexicon | February 3rd, 2009 at 4:55 am
people who wank of goats > people who think banksy is a genius
21. Anwar | February 3rd, 2009 at 1:08 pm
Banksy is a legend
22. Patrick | February 3rd, 2009 at 1:15 pm
Don’t you guys love Lexicon’s reasoning? I guess that’s what he finds art, bestiality. What a high form of art, eh?
23. Sauce | February 3rd, 2009 at 6:54 pm
Patrick- An extremely high form of art, didn’t you know that?
Apparently, Lexicon has much to teach us all :)

Sophomoric, obvious and laboured. Banksy’s art says next to nothing, but looks pretty stylish from time to time. He has lost most of his integrity in all but the most fatuous of artistic circles by doing corporate advertising pieces for EMI and Puma, among others.
Banksy’s concepts rarely reward any kind of close scrutiny, since they’re almost all tediously obvious. Of course, art is subjective, but if everything can be art, then art is nothing.
