Banksy makes Graffiti seem like Portrait Painting
Banksy piece in London. It features an artist holding a pallet, and painting Banksy's graffiti letters, not with a spray can, but with a paint brush.
This piece could be interpreted to mean that Banksy is elevating graffiti and street art to the next level. Or perhaps it could be a message to folks who aren't fans of graffiti, pointing out that 'Hey! Graffiti is painting too!'.
As a piece of art, quite impressive shading on the stencil.
What do you think this piece is about?
