Banksy strikes back! But this time it’s legit. The anonymous street artist, who is more accustomed to attacking city walls and buildings like a guerrilla soldier, has this time taken the straight approach and landed his biggest exhibition yet in the Bristol City Museum.
A collection of Banksy works using different mediums but with the same cheeky Banksy style will be on display until August 31st. Many never-before-seen works, including his animatronic pets which were recently on display in New York, have been presented in what was a bit of a coup for the museum’s top brass, with many employees having little or no idea what was going on leading up to the exhibition launch. Duped into thinking a film crew was setting up, the artist’s work were literally installed over night! From blood smeared lion statues with remnants of a lion tamer’s outfit at their paws, to beret sporting chimps painting sunsets. A must see.
