This allows art enthusiasts optimal time to enter the mind of Banksy and gain knowledge of his renowned story and practice.
Making a pseudo name for himself as one of the world’s most famous street and graffiti artists, Banksy has successfully kept his true identity secret. The mysterious artist is considered one of the most invaluable artists of our time, conquering the streets of Bristol, England. The Art of Banksy exhibition aims to educate audiences on the artist’s substantial political influence, expressed humorously and energetically in his works. Banksy’s artworks have sold for high prices at a number of auctions, bringing rapid attention to street art.
Without Limits features Banksy’s most famous works, including Love Is In The Air (2003), Napalm (2004), and Pulp Fiction (2004). The centrepiece of the exhibition are the iconic Banksy’s pieces: Girl With Balloon (2002), and Dismaland (2015).
Due to its unlimited interpretations, Girl With Balloon (2002) has gained worldwide traction. The simple image of a young girl reaching for a heart-shaped balloon depicts many emotions, including hope, freedom, and love.
The experimental and interactive art installation, Dismaland (2015), was a parody of Disney’s attractions and characters. In the Without Limits exhibition, a simulation of the original “Dismaland Bemusement Park” is set up for audiences to explore.
