Frases de Banksy

Banksy es el seudónimo de un prolífico artista del street art británico. Nació en Bristol, en 1975. Aunque los datos acerca de su identidad son inciertos, él estuvo en el documental llamado "Salida a la tienda de regalos" pero se desconocen detalles de su biografía, según un estudio de la universidad Queen Mary de Londres publicado en marzo de 2016, Robin Gunningham, vecino de Bristol, sería el artista detrás del seudónimo de Banksy.[1] Banksy «nació y creció en Bristol, se vio implicado en el graffiti durante el boom del aerosol en Bristol de finales de la década de 1980». Su trabajo, en su gran mayoría piezas satíricas sobre política, cultura pop, moralidad y etnias, combina escritura con graffiti con el uso de estarcidos con plantilla . Su arte urbano combina escritura con una técnica de estarcido muy distintiva, similar a Blek le Rat, quien empezó a trabajar con estarcidos en 1981 en París; y miembros de la banda de anarco-punk Crass, que mantuvieron una campaña en las instalaciones del metro de Londres a finales de la década de los setenta del siglo XX e inicios de los ochenta. Banksy reconoció la influencia de Blek diciendo "cada vez que creo que he pintado algo ligeramente original, me doy cuenta de que Blek le Rat lo hizo mejor, sólo que veinte años antes."[2] Sus obras se han hecho populares al ser visibles en varias ciudades del mundo, especialmente en Londres.

En 2012 se publicó el libro Freedom Through Football: The Story Of The Easton Cowboys & Cowgirls en donde se confirma la primera fotografía tomada a Banksy mientras realizaba un graffiti en Chiapas, México en 2001.[3]

Banksy: Frases en inglés

“The Art we look at is made by only a select few. A small group create, promote, purchase, exhibit and decide the success of Art. Only a few hundred people in the world have any real say. When you go to an Art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires…”

Wall and Piece (2005)

“The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists.. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little.”

“Art is not like other culture because its success is not made by its audience. The public fill concert halls and cinemas everyday, we read novels by the millions, and buy records by the billions. 'We the people' affect the making and quality of most of our culture, but not our art.”

Wall and Piece (2005)

“A lot of people think that scuttling around stenciling images onto buildings in the middle of the night is the action of a sad, frustrated individual who can't get attention or recognition any other way. They might be right, but I've done gallery shows and, if you've been hitting on people with all sorts of images in all sorts of places, they're a real step backwards, painting the streets means becoming an actual part of the city. It's not a spectator sport.”

“I pretty much use sketchbooks to note down great ideas of somebody else I've just had. A good sketchbook means you don't actually need to bother with having a memory yourself. You can get away with a fair bit of substance abuse if you always carry a notepad and a sharp pencil around with you.”

“When the paintings suddenly started going for, like, really big money it definitely weirded me out, and I kind of went away to the middle of nowhere and I stopped making any more paintings. But the whole time the auction houses were just selling paintings that I’d done years before and sold for not much money. Or paintings that I traded for a haircut or, you know, an ounce of weed and they were going for like 50 grand.”

Cut It Out (2004)

“Recipe idea: take on fire extinguisher and pour out all the contents. Mix down a nice bright emulsion paint to the consistency of full fat milk, stirring constantly to remove any lumps. Pour into the extinguisher, screw on cap tightly and write on things up to 50 feet high. Re-use by swapping over the CO2 charged canister (costs about one pound). The perfect accompaniment to a night out drinking heavily with friends.”
