Exit through the gift shop



I always thought Banksy was an intelligent man who's work represented and touched on some highly sensitive social issues. I was not however the biggest fan of his out comes until I watched his film. Through this i was able to understand his thought processes and gained a valuable insight into the way he works and his principles. It also allowed me to view his work in context to the greater world.



I also discovered Mr Brainwash who blew me away with his courage and determination to be a successful artist over night. He had the creative ability and drive but was not necessarily applying it correctly (according to Bansky). I was drawn to his consistent filming and even more fascinated by his resistance to do anything with his footage. His interaction with Bansky enabled him to gain the crusial knowledge to be a street artist and apply his findings to his own work.
