I am a huge fan of Banksy. I think his work is thought provoking and relevant to modern times. I am a little unsure of his recent works however. He is releasing a new movie called exit through the gift shop.
What concerns me is the recent spat of work in Toronto, I noticed one near the T&T by the waterfront on Cherry Street and at first I was like, “WTF?” but now I see samples everywhere and I can’t help but wonder, are they originals or just a clever marketing ploy. If they are a marketing ploy then it would be totally fitting given the subject matters of Banksy’s work, but a little disappointing since I would like to imagine him sneaking around T.O. making his mark.
