We humans have been always captivated with the mysterious, the unknown. That natural drive that we have is what made us reach this level of society. We always tried to find out more, to dig up more. To this day, mysteries challenge us. Make us want to conquer them. And that is precisely one of the reasons why Banksy as an artist became so famous. To this day, there are more things that we do not know about the artist than we do. The anonymity, the mystery, and the talent combined with the provocative and political themes that his art touches is what makes Banksy art so well-known.<\/p>\n

Banksy\u2019s beginnings<\/strong><\/p>\n

Banksy\u2019s career started in the \u201990s when he was a teenager and a part of the DryBreadZ Crew. His work was inspired by local artists in Bristol it became an undeniably big part of the Bristol underground scene. In this period, he was producing his graffiti freehand, and later in the 2000\u2019s he switched to the stenciling technique in order to complete his work much faster. Banksy used motives such as anti-war, anti-capitalist and anti-establishment that he based his art upon, and these pieces were often in combinations with slogans. His first known large mural was The Mild Mild West<\/em> that Banksy painted over an ad of a former solicitors\u2019 office. It was painted in 1999 for three days and it portrays a large teddy bear with throwing a Molotov cocktail over three riot police officers. It was inspired by an event at Winterstroke Road where a party was held, as one of the many unlicensed parties and raves that happened in abandoned places in that time, and riot police attacked the people at the party.<\/p>\n
