Banksy, the anonymous British street artist, is one of the most influential and recognisable figures in contemporary art. Emerging in the 1990s from the Bristol graffiti scene, Banksy has built a global reputation for his politically charged, satirical works that blend dark humour with sharp social commentary. His stencil based imagery from Girl with Balloon to Flower Thrower has become iconic, addressing themes of consumerism, war, inequality, and authority with immediacy and wit. Beyond the streets, Banksy’s limited edition prints, paintings, and large scale interventions, such as Dismaland and the Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem, have cemented his cultural impact. Today, his works are held in major collections worldwide and regularly achieve record prices at auction, making him not only a cultural phenomenon but also one of the most sought-after blue-chip artists on the global art market.
