Banksy
by zoss in politika, graphia
This image landed* in my inbox accompanied with others showing some graffiti on the Westbank separation barrier (B’Tselem / wikipedia are good places to learn about the barrier). A quick search finds the British graffiti artist Banksy responsible for these creations. Here’s a report by the Guardian, with a link to a gallery of the images.
This is certainly my favorite, or was, before Banksy’s exchange with an old man threw me off balance:
Old man: You paint the wall, you make it look beautiful.
Banksy: Thanks
Old man: We don’t want it to be beautiful, we hate this wall, go home.
Banksy has a link to StopTheWall campaign.
*Thanks A.
