25 Iconic Banksy Graffiti Murals (And Where To Find Them)
It's time to go Banksy hunting!
Banksy is now quite possibly the world's most popular artist. From his humble beginnings designing graffiti murals in Bristol and London, he has gone on to generate artworks worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. He is friends with Brad Pitt. He's held exhibitions in some of the biggest museums and galleries in the world. His film, Exit Through The Gift Shop, was lauded worldwide. Regardless of how famous he becomes in art circles (if, indeed, you can be famous when no-one knows who you are...), he will always be most remembered for his street art. Murals are what made his name, and councils everywhere are now happy to maintain and protect his work in the knowledge that it has increasingly become a draw for tourists and art fans alike. Many of these works are deeply critical, parodic and sardonic, drawing on huge global issues. Many are located in insanely dangerous areas. In celebration of his recently opened Disneyland parody, Dismaland Bemusement Park, in Weston-Super-Mare, here is a list of 25 of his most iconic pieces of graffiti from around the world. The locations for each are included, so if you're interested in going on a hunt for some of Banksy's work, you now have all of the material that you could possibly need.
