Artistic genius, political activist, painter and decorator, mythic
legend or notorious graffiti artist? The work of Banksy is
unmistakable, except maybe when it's squatting in the Tate or New
York's Metropolitan Museum. Banksy is responsible for decorating
the streets, walls, bridges and zoos of towns and cites throughout
the world. Witty and subversive, his stencils show monkeys with
weapons of mass destruction, policeman with smiley faces, rats with
drills and umbrellas. If you look hard enough, you'll find your
own. His statements, incitements, ironies and epigrams are by turns
intelligent and cheeky comments on everything from the monarchy and
capitalism to the war in Iraq and farm animals. His identity
remains unknown, but his work is prolific. Here's the best of his
work in a fully illustrated colour volume - including brand
material.

Documentary directed by the elusive street artist Banksy. Using
footage shot by eccentric French amateur film-maker Thierry Guetta,
the film follows the shop owner as he immerses himself in the
underground world of guerilla street art. He joins the scene
through his cousin, mosaic artist Invader, and documents camera-shy
artists including Shepard Fairey and Banksy at work. But as Thierry
films them for his art documentary, Banksy turns the camera back on
its holder and shows how Guetta created the pop-street art alter
ego known as 'Mr Brainwash' and became an overnight sensation in
the LA art world.
