Banksy

The banksy exhibition in Bristol was amazing and really inspired me. At this present time i am almost certain that i would like to do some kind of installation for my work next year as it is something that i am interested in at present.
I thought the pet shop was amazing and definitely a 100 times better in real life and it was extraordinary to begin with. I like the way Banksy' work is extremely controversial but i love the way that it is very thought provoking.You cannot help but ponder as it addresses real life issues head on.
I went with some awesome people who were just as inspired and motivated to find great art as i was and this made the day even more exciting.
It is free entry and only an hour and a half away, definitely worth a look :]

Here are some example to tickle your imagination and question your thinking...





Each persons perception may be different to the next. But Crawford (1991) indicates this is okay

"What makes one persons interpretation better than another? Is an understanding of the artists intentions either necessary or useful to interpret a work correctly?" (Crawford, 1991, p24)
