Art Review, Banksy.
Banksy has truly brought a new era to the art world. Even though he does not want the fame he just wants to make a statement to the world about things that are wrong and go un-noticed by the average person. In the piece I found he shows that image of the grass is greener on the other side, the idea that what you have is never as good as what you neighbor has. He shows through a concrete wall a picture of the beach in a tropical area that could be considered as paradise with children on the outside looking in with a shovel and a bucket which is the things kids bring to beaches to entertain themselves. Banksy is such an amazing artist in my mind because he wants to show people things that they overlook and would not notice unless it was shown to them. This specific piece is different than most of his pieces because he is showing people affected by separation of the wall, most likely he is showing them what they probably already know that what is happening on the other side is better than what is happening on their side. Banksy has so many piece of art that he has done throughout his career, which has made it hard to pick a single piece to review. I appreciate that fact that he does not work for the money, more for the passion and through the passion he has made a living.
