Banksy the street artist


Banksy is an anonymous English writer. All we know about him is that he was born in Bristol and he started to write when he was 14 years old. He's considered the most famous "street writer" in the world. His career started in small crew called DryBreadZ with two of his artist friends in the 80's. Many years later he organised the first convention of graffiti writers in Bristol, he really had a lot of success, after that year he became one of the most known writers in Europe. Even after 39 years he's still doing his wonderful, full of significance drawings. Banksy also sells his works to the Hollywood stars, such as Brad Pitt, for a really high price. His most famous work is "Consumism Water Lily Pond" which represents Monet's masterpiece with a shopping trolley and a traffic cone into it.
