Does it feel weird to anyone else that during race-riots Banksy has been pratting about London spray painting animals everywhere? Just me?
@james they all have deep symbolism and are quite location specific - which I guess is true for most of his stuff. And a good time to stay anonymous in the capital I suppose…
@kestral it'd mean a lot more if he said what he meant. words are needed at the moment.
@james not sure I agree with the first sentence, though generally agree with the second. None of his art ever has words. And I’d agree words are needed but that’s not on banksy. He’s just an artist, we need words from people whose job it is to bring cohesion. Art is going to art.
@kestral I understand that, and I appreciate being challenged on this.
