It appears that Banksy has gone seasonal - he's made it to Bethlehem and is graffitiing in the Manger Square:One colour mural on a Bethlehem wall shows a little girl frisking an Israeli soldier in combat gear. A downtown gable end is decorated with a silhouette of an Israeli soldier checking a donkey's identity card. Elsewhere, one of Banksy's trademark rats brandishes a catapult at a watchtower set in the wall.
I'd like to know your view on Banksy and graffiti in general. He certainly does it well, the authorities would like to catch him, I've seen a possible photo of him and he brings a smile to the face.
But is he right for somewhere like Bethlehem?

Oh my giddy aunt! The dove in the flack vest is wonderful, but the terrorist with the flowers is f...ing brilliant!!!!! Please that the world was thus.
ReplyDeletePoint made very cogently.

Hmmm!
But then again, 2000 or so years ago Bethlehem was an occupied territory under PAX ROMANA so nothing's changed really.
He's a genius.
ReplyDeleteIn these compliant days we need men like him.
Fantastic. I've never heard of this chap. The art is great.
ReplyDeleteWell, it can be an art form. It can also be a bloody mess. The trouble is, who's to judge?
