For all Art & Design lifestyle enthusiasts, you would have to be living under a rock to not have heard about Banksy by now. Renowned for his incredible street art (graffiti) in the UK, Banksy has skipped the pond, made his famous mark on some walls in LA and now he seems to have reappeared in San Francisco! To this day Banksy’s real identity is virtually unknown. He is believed to have been born in 1974 and a native of Yate, South Gloucestershire, UK. Banksy’s artworks are often satirical pieces of art on topics such as politics, culture, and ethics. Having made his mark on hundreds of walls and having had a book published on his various street pieces, the artist himself remains an enigma.
