More quotes by Banksy
Painting something that defies the law of the land is good. Painting something that defies the law of the land and the law of gravity at the same time is ideal.
Banksy
It's a very frustrated feeling you get when the only people with good photos of you work are the police department.
Banksy
I tell myself I use art to promote dissent, but maybe I am just using dissent to promote my art. I plead not guilty to selling out. But I plead it from a bigger house than I used to live in.
Banksy
Is graffiti art or vandalism? That word has a lot of negative connotations and it alienates people, so no, I don't like to use the word 'art' at all.
Banksy
I know street art can feel increasingly like the marketing wing of an art career, so I wanted to make some art without the price tag attached. There's no gallery show or book or film. It's pointless. Which hopefully means something.
Banksy
Nothing is black and white, and there is no purity and there is no such thing has justice.
Banksy
You live in the city and all the time there are signs telling you what to do and billboards trying to sell you something.
Banksy
There's obviously nothing wrong with selling your art - only an idiot with a trust fund would tell you otherwise. But it's confusing to know how far you should take it.
Banksy
Bus stops are far more interesting and useful places to have art than in museums.
Banksy
Should # graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It's way more important than that
Banksy
There's nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place.
Banksy
I don't think you should have to pay to look at graffiti. You should only pay if you want to get rid of it.
Banksy
We don’t need any more heroes we just need someone to take out the recycling.
Banksy
All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?
Banksy
If Michaelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci were alive today they’d be making Avatar, not painting a chapel.
Banksy
It doesn't take much to be a successful artist-all you need to do is dedicate your entire life to it.
Banksy
A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to.
Banksy
If at first you don't succeed, Call an airstrike.
Banksy
Keep your coins, I want change.
Banksy
I need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me.
Banksy
