More quotes by Banksy
Should # graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It's way more important than that
Banksy
I don't know if street art ever really works indoors. If you domesticate an animal, it goes from being wild and free to sterile, fat and sleepy. So maybe the art should stay outside.
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
A lot of mothers will do anything for their children, except let them be themselves.
Banksy
I don't know why people are so keen to put the details of their private life in public they forget that invisibility is a superpower.
Banksy
If Michaelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci were alive today they’d be making Avatar, not painting a chapel.
Banksy
You're advised not to drink the replica Arab spring water.
Banksy
The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists.. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little.
Banksy
There are four basic human needs food, sleep, sex and revenge.
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
It's impossible to predict which paintings will last and which won't. In New Orleans I painted on a dilapidated shop in a street littered with abandoned cars and rotting mattresses, then two hours later the piece was gone. It turned out I'd picked the side of a crack house and the proprietor didn't like the attention.
Banksy
I am unable to comment on who may or may not be Banksy, but anyone described as 'good at drawing' doesn't sound like Banksy to me.
Banksy
If at first you don't succeed, Call an airstrike.
Banksy
Keep your coins, I want change.
Banksy
Brandalism Any advertisement in public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It belongs to you. It's yours to take, rearrange and re-use. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.
Banksy
You're mind is working at its best when you're being paranoid. You explore every avenue and possibility of your situation at high speed with total clarity.
Banksy
We can't do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves.
Banksy
Become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything else.
Banksy
Nothing is black and white, and there is no purity and there is no such thing has justice.
Banksy
I don't believe in anything. I'm just here for the violence.
