Banksy - Text and Image

Banksy is a street artist and well know for his works such as  "Banksy of England." which is a play on words of "Bank of England" from the art work of a picture of the Queen's head. He was a free hand graffiti artist whose first big work was "The Mild Mild West" Painting. Moving to political views he painted 9 creations to the Israeli West Bank Wall. Another stunt of his was documented and made its debut in 2010 in the Sundance Film Festival. He was nominated for an academy award. The Documentary tells a story about an immigrant from France named Theirry Guetta and his street art. The biggest stunt and most popular followed to banksy's name is his 1 month showing in New York City. Banksy didnt sell a single piece of art work yet they still got sold for over 214k today. Deep symbolism where used in these art works with towering ronald mcdonalds and dumbo shot down my jihadists in a youtube video. 

The first piece of art on his 30 days adventure in New York. "Graffiti is a crime" is almost mocking the opinions of how his art work is illegal. Something banksy tackles many times. 

Things I've learned about text and image is it is and easy but broad way to express a statement. Artists especially bansky use it to show their views of recent events and political views. 
I could use text and image to broaden something from being just a piece of art work but something that can attract better or get you thinking. 
The thing that inspired me is the freedom of speech expressed through banksy artwork and how he can just put up texts to show how hes feeling. Even if the image is unrelated.
