Banksy
Since prehistoric times, humans have been fascinated by the act of painting on walls. The cave murals that we see in our school textbooks are the beginning of art, an art that shows the high expressive ability of our ancestors. The traces are so free itself that it is hard to believe they are tens of thousands of years old.
In 2018, a painting of a girl and a red balloon was sold to the highest bidder, and then suddenly shredded with a shredder built into the frame. In Japan, Banksy’s works are often referred to as “Banksy” works. In Japan, when a painting of a rat thought to be Banksy’s work was discovered, it spread through major media and social networking sites, raising awareness. However, there are still very few people who know the truth about Banksy’s creative activities and motives, and he remains shrouded in mystery.
This exhibition is an ambitious attempt to introduce the masterpieces of the “The Art of Banksy” exhibition, which has traveled to various cities around the world and gained popularity, from an original Japanese perspective. In addition to exhibiting original works from private collectors, the exhibition will focus on Banksy’s main battleground, “the street,” where visitors will be able to experience an immersive space through an exhibition that recreates the streets as only a television station can. — It is like a “movie set”.
Banksy, the forerunner of street artists and the next generation of contemporary art masters such as Haring and Basquiat, is a pioneer of the times who is now attracting the most attention in the world. This will be a rare opportunity for people of all ages to understand the meaning of Banksy’s activities.
