Is Banksy still relevant?
After a good few years of seeing his work plastered across the Daily Mail and pimped at every second rate market stall across the land, it is no wonder that people are now firmly sceptical of the health and safety flaunting lunatic that is Banksy.
But with the announcement of his new residency at Bristol Museum, it is difficult to not be intrigued but surprisingly difficult to actually get excited. My main problem with it is that as a former Bristol resident, it was a little treat to discover a Banksy and feel part of a secret society of wall gazers.
Secret societies like that shouldn’t ever fall into your Mum’s consciousness, as Mr Banks has.
But will the show be good? By the looks of the below video, I’d say yeah. I’ll pass my judgement when the accompanying knock-off prints hit Spitalfields Market.
