Banksy. Livres

Nos villes sont saturées de panneaux publicitaires et de réclames commerciales qui polluent visuellement nos rues. En réaction et au fil du temps est apparu un nouveau phénomène artistique qui prend une dimension mondiale. L’art dans la rue, le « Street Art », exposé à tous, libre et accessible à n’importe qui peut le voir. Banksy, Blek le Rat, JR, Gaia, et de nombreux autres, sont les grands acteurs de ce mouvement né de l’underground et devenu la dernière tendance de l’art contemporain, dont l’œuvre en perpétuelle évolution est présentée dans ce livre. Fresques monumentales ou miniatures exquises, ces images sont l’exemple le plus représentatif de ce que peut produire l ‘imaginaire humain quand il est confronté à un paysage urbain aussi fascinant qu’étouffant.

The third incendiary collection of stencils and graffiti from Banksy (after Banging Your Head Against a Brick wall and Existencilism), presented and bound in a handy pocket sized high quality format. Full color, and including some of most famous/notorious works to date, including ‘exhibiting’ his work at the Tate Gallery in London. Quite superb.

The first incendiary collection of stencils and graffiti from Banksy, presented and bound in a handy pocket sized high quality format. Rarely have art and politics been put to such fine, and overtly public, use. Mix the irony and juxtaposition of John Yates with the beauty of the finest aerosol art, and you'll have some idea of how good this really is. The reproductions are interspersed with an excellent array of quotes, statements, letters and a beginners guide to painting with stencils. Very, very good.

Much of Banksy's early work on the streets of Bristol has been lost, but this book records those works which appeared throughout the city. Author Steve Wright explores the streets of Banksy's Bristol and interviews many of the people who worked with Banksy in his early years. We believe this to be the most complete photographic collections of Banksy's Bristol work from the freehand wall paintings in Easton to the iconic Mild Mild West, his stencils and more. It contains more than 100 images.

Graffiti is like boxing. The people who do it "professionally" tend to go round in circles pulling the same old moves all the time. The real entertainment takes place on amateur night. That's when you get to watch the bitter and twisted unleash all their pent-up frustrations on an unsuspecting public in a desperate attempt to make some kind of point before collapsing under a cloud of their own bloodied spit. This little book is a charming collection of graffiti from around the world as collected on the site picturesofwalls.com. Very funny indeed. Edited by Banksy. Color.

The last outlaw of visual Graffiti and unsanctioned art—from local origins to global phenomenon In recent years street art has grown bolder, more ornate, more sophisticated and—in many cases—more acceptable. Yet unsanctioned public art remains the problem child of cultural expression, the last outlaw of visual disciplines. It has also become a global phenomenon of the 21st century. Made in collaboration with featured artists, Trespass examines the rise and global reach of graffiti and urban art , tracing key figures, events and movements of self-expression in the city’s social space, and the history of urban reclamation, protest, and illicit performance. The first book to present the full historical sweep, global reach and technical developments of the street art movement, Trespass features key works by 150 artists ,and connects four generations of visionary outlaws including Jean Tinguely , Spencer Tunick, Keith Haring, Os Gemeos , Jenny Holzer , Barry McGee , Gordon Matta-Clark, Shepard Fairey, Blu, Billboard Liberation Front , Guerrilla Girls and Banksy , among others. It also includes dozens of previously unpublished photographs of long-lost works and legendary, ephemeral urban artworks. Also

Trzymasz w ręce zbiór najlepszych prac najbardziej poszukiwanego brytyjskiego artysty. Kim jest Banksy? Artystycznym geniuszem, politycznym aktywistą, malarzem, dekoratorem, mityczną legendą, a może po prostu powszechnie znanym writerem? Prac Banksy'ego nie można pomylić z niczym innym, nie sposób ich przeoczyć, no chyba, że zostały skutecznie przemycone i zakamuflowane w Tate czy The Metropolitan Museum of Art w Nowym Jorku. Banksy odpowiada za ozdabianie' ulic, murów, mostów i zoo w miastach dużych i małych na całym świecie. Jest przy tym dowcipny, a jego prace przewrotne: małpy dzierżące broń masowego rażenia, policjanci z uśmiechniętymi emotikonami zamiast twarzy, szczury z wiertłami i parasolami. Banksy wskazuje światu na to, co istotne, podburza ludzi, ironizuje, inteligentnie, acz bezczelnie komentuje wszystko, od monarchii i kapitalizmu, po wojnę w Iraku i zwierzęta hodowlane. Tożsamość Banksy'ego nadal pozostaje tajemnicą, mimo że jego prace są już powszechnie znane. * * * Prace Banksy'ego muszą mieć świadków, z których każdy powinien je przeżyć, wziąć do serca i przekazać dalej w imię Wolności.
