Banksy Warhol Artwork - An Introduction

 

One of the most famous pieces from Banksy's long career as an artist is called the poster for Wall Street. It can be considered a piece of Banksy art because it was produced in reaction to the graffiti on the city streets and walls of the financial district. The image, which originally appeared on September 21st, is called autumn. It shows a dark figure sitting on a dirty and cracked canvas. A passerby sees the image and runs away, unfortunately exposing the ugly underside of the city's skyline.

The caption of the painting winter in Bristol on Wall Street translates literally to "winter is coming and soon". Many people who pass by the image in question will immediately have a link with the current financial meltdown that has gripped the world. The image also goes some way towards explaining why many people feel the need to express their anger and frustration through art.

This Connection Is Perhaps One That Is Shared By Many Who Live In the UK

In fact, some people have even chosen to recreate the image of Banksy on their own walls. Autumn/winter in Bristol is one of many Banksy works which can be seen around the country. In addition to the Bristol area there are also locations in Manchester, London and elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Some local artists have even begun to take on the challenge of producing their own Banksy art.

A more complete set of Banksy Warhol works would have involved a re-creating of one of his more famous pieces such as the Dogs, a painting which features several dogs urinating on the pavement. This iconic image from Banksy's career also features on the cover of his book Dogs. Another famous image from Banksy's career, which is often reproduced, is the Christmas stocking scene which he created for his publication Wall and Piece. This work stands alongside many other popular pieces of art from Banksy's career which features stockings or Christmas trees.

The Subject Matter of the Graffiti Is Always Considered

To be topical and often relates to social or political struggles within society. It is this type of graffiti, which is most popular amongst those who live in Bristol and the surrounding areas. The Bristol streets in which Warhol's name is known and revered are often peppered with a large number of his stencils.

In recent years, more people have decided to create their own Banksy art work. This has come about due to the increasing demand for prints of Banksy images. A number of companies have begun to produce prints which feature Banksy's name along with images of his stencils. Many people who collect Banksy Warhol work find themselves drawn to these reproductions of the famous artist's work.
