Contextual Portfolio | Banksy | Inspiration

When looking for inspiration towards my contextual portfolio, the first artist I thought to include was Banksy. Ever since I first looked at Banksy work, my work has been inspired by his in terms of the subject matter he includes in it. I also love the style of his work visually. Elements of Banksy's work have run through into my pieces of work over the years such as the satirical subjects he uses, the black and white stencil style and the areas where he does these stencils. Some of Banksy's works are parodic because he uses the original an artist and makes it look like it has somehow been invaded/vandalised by Banksy. The subject matter of his work consists of satire on modernism and in some cases is based on topics happening in the UK as Banksy himself was born and raised in the UK.
