Banksy - Krysy a opice, Děti, Městská džungle – Mattanzaová Alessandra (2024)

Few contemporary artists evoke as much curiosity as Banksy: the British street art creator who has become a global celebrity, elevating the use of stencils and spray paint to a social and political statement that transcends the art world. His works unexpectedly appear in various locations around the globe, drawing attention to the suffering and injustices typically faced by the most vulnerable and overlooked - whether it's the devastated cities of Ukraine, conflicts in the Middle East, the abuse of power by global corporations, or the fates of child refugees in Europe. Moreover, Banksy is adept at leveraging the attention of the media and social networks, as evidenced by the fact that his identity remains unknown to this day, even though almost everyone has seen his graffiti. This lavish box set offers three books featuring Banksy's most famous works, categorized by his favorite themes: rats and monkeys as symbols of our world, children as the most vulnerable members of our community, and the marginalized inhabitants of the urban jungle. In addition to high-quality reproductions in the books, there are introductory studies that place his work in the broader context of our time. Banksy may not speak to everyone, but one thing is certain: his message cannot be ignored...
