My second favourite artist has to be Banksy. He has a hidden identity and has his work publicly shown without selling any of it to anyone. He is an English artist who creates graffiti pieces commonly expressing political statements as well as dark humour elements. He is a political activist and gets his point across giving him a recognisable image.
My favourite thing Banksy has ever done was the exhibition of dismaland which 's a play on words for Disney land. It was only temporary and was located in Weston-super-Mare in Somerset. Dismaland showed off Banksy's work and many other pieces from other artists. Banksy wanted a twisted Disney land to express the reality of life not what we r lead to belive in things such as Disney in make believe. It made a high statement in my opinion.
It showed wacky things such as a turned up carriage with cinderella in the window laying out of it slightly after what seems a crash. As well there were photographs being taken which express how drama can circle fast in today's society. My favourite part of dismaland was the distorted ariel which showed everything is not what it is shown to be.
