I saw 4 of
Banksy's works over the weekend, including this one:
I never thought I would have the opportunity to see genuine Banksy pieces so I was excited to find out that he's part of a pop up group exhibition called Marks & Stencils (ripping off Marks & Spencers) taking place in a borrowed shop space. The star of the show is Dran, a French artist who does wonderful illustrations that evoke a childlike spirit with a slightly morbid sense of humour. I love the fact that he works on collaged canvases and cardboard boxes. Check out more of his work over
here. Other artists of note:
Al Murphy (left) and
Ian Stevenson. They're a bit random, but I found them inexplicably hilarious.
