Street art London outing

[kazzy_cee]

Today Mr Cee and I went to London to see The Art of Banksy exhibition in Soho. It was pouring with rain most of the day, so we were a bit damp by the time we got there

So they don't really know who Banksy is? He (maybe she?) has never shown their face?

I like a lot of it and he certainly knows how to get people's attention. What a character!

He appears occasionally - he's on a CD cover he designed for a band but only the back view. He often posts Instagrams of his new artworks in cities but you only ever see him from behind wearing a hat. He has a very loyal group of friends who protect him so no one knows who he is or where he lives now. He is very anti-war/anti-establishment and donates huge profits to various charities and communities.

Provocative stuff.The Bristol one with the kids tagging Thomas the Tank Engine really spoke to me.

[kazzy_cee]

Yes - I like that one too.

Looks like a great exhibition!

[kazzy_cee]

It really was - there were so many more photos I didn't post here...

Wow! I didn't realise he'd been so busy!

[kazzy_cee]

He's been involved in a lot more than people realise - I love how he is an activist.

I know quite a lot of these already, but Simon Cowell was not something I've seen before. Very funny!

I hadn’t seen the Simon Cowell one either.
