They are not anti-art; they simply enjoy the freedom of working in public without having to worry about what other people think.

In this piece Banksy utilizes juxtaposition, ethos and logos, and also iconic figures to convey his message of the problem with the media, and how in this day and age if we see someone’s life in disarray we are more likely to watch and do nothing than to help.…

    In todays society there are many different kinds of art. As well as many different meanings art. Exit Through the Gift Shop was a very interesting documentary that I have ever seen. It was very empowering in a way. This documentary was mostly based on graffiti, from how it started and how it ended. Now the question is, is graffiti real art? I certainly think that graffiti is real art. I think any art that is made is real art. A person, who is passionate and creative about art, makes real art. There is not false in that. A second question that is frequently asked is, “how is street art different from fine art?” Street art is specifically visual art, developed in public places and spaces. Public places such as “the street”, where everyone can see anything and everything. Fine art is creative art, but art that only comes from their artist’s imagination. The point of street art is to show not only people that make fine art are artists, so are the people who do street art. In the film, there are many cultures that appear. For someone to understand the cultural identities is just to realize that many people can make art. It’s just not a certain type of culture. The one culture that defines cultural identity is French. All of the artists started of with the French background.…

    Irvine (2012, 1) suggests that since 1990s, street artists such as Banksy and Swoon have became a part of the present and contemporary art practices, which interpret and prescribe social and political issues through visual art in the public space. He claims that “A useful differentiator for street artists is the use of walls as mural space” (Irvine, 2012, 6). This quote suggests that most artists use walls to create their murals in them in different ways such as graffiti of images, paintings or…
