Banksy

Originally from Bristol, Banksy has managed to keep his identity hidden, his anonymity being vital in allowing him to continue his street based career. Banksy's spray painted and stenciled images can be found on walls and bridges from London to Palestine and his work has been described as the voice of those living in urban environments. His most recent large scale project 'Cans Festival' brought together a host of international urban and street artists, with work going on display at The Tunnel, Leake Street, London.
