Banksy. Carrying love in the dilapidated world. Yoshiara Yu.

His black and white stencils are beautiful, witty and provocative: police with emoticons, rats, monkeys with weapons of mass destruction, little girls clinging to missiles, police officers, Samuel Jackson and John Travolta in “Crime Reading”, shooting bananas. Instead of rifles. All this is a pun and irony, statements and incitement, and in each such work there are many political and social contexts. Is it possible to fully understand them without the realization of who is behind the personality of Banksy?

This book of the art researcher Yuki Yoshiara from Japan will try to look into the artist’s past, introduce us to the environment where he grew up, and will help to approach The true meaning of his messages. Banksy is, first of all, a free and radical artist, so the layout in the book is variable and plastic, unpredictable, but not losing elegance.
