The pioneer french graffitti artist Bansky has done some amazing work. While I do not condone defacing public property, I do enjoy his work. His impromptu use of existing common objects and fixtures in the environment is witty and comical. There is also a message ingrained in his artwork that speaks volumes without being openly or so "in your face" as other graffitti messages. The satire and dark humor in his work is brilliant and so well executed, that it is sometimes difficult to be offended by it.
He started off making small rats stensils along the buildings in Paris and from there began creating more intriquete and larger stensil paintings.
His paintings were usually directly corelated with an issue pertaining to the building or area he created them on. This one for example is on a Sexual Health Building. The art work was not deamed offensive and the public enjoyed and supported it, so it was not removed. It's a very cheeking message and a bit commical portrayal of a serious message. It definately gets ones attention.
This painting is near Bethlehelm, which is a stark contrast to what life is like for children there. The choice of art and where he chooses to create is what demonstrates his messages so well.
