The people who run our cities dont understand graffiti because they think nothing has the right to exist unless it makes a profit... the people who truly deface our neighborhoods are the companies that scrawl giant slogans across buildings and buses trying to make us feel inadequate unless we buy their stuff.... any advertisement in public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours, it belongs to you ,, its yours to take, rearrange and re use.Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.
BanksyNot everyone will understand your journey. That's okay. You're here to live your life, not to make everyone understand.
BanksyWhen you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.
BanksyIโve learnt from experience that a painting isnโt finished when you put down your brush โ thatโs when it starts. The public reaction is what supplies meaning and value. Art comes alive in the arguments you have about it.
