Bet you wish you'd bought one of these when they were just 25 pounds?

Today we went to the Banksy exhibition at Moore Park in Sydney.

 

Really interesting, and shows that just because it started as graffiti doesn't mean the artist isn't gifted and imaginative. 

AND you could take photos! YEY!

So here are some great pics to share with you...

 

 

I love this below!

Warning! There is an elephant in the room!

 

 

He would sell his limited edition prints for really cheap prices. 25, 33, 100 pounds.

Now worth approx 75 000.00 pounds.

 

Most of his work is very political, and witty. 

 

Below- he wanted to paint a cow.

I guess when he said "I want to paint your cows" I expect the farmers were expecting something more like a Constable work of art, rather than what they got below.

It was painted with safe for animal paint! 

Then one night, he went into Trafalgar Square in London and created the below work.

 

This was done in easy to remove paint, so if they got sprung it could be quickly washed away leaving no evidence, thus, in theory, avoiding arrest.!

 

I wonder if he was a Terry Pratchett fan?

 

 

And he got in a lot of strife when he printed these pound notes with Princess Diana, 

which was totally illegal. 

'Di Faced Tenners'

Well capitalism was also alive in the Banksy gift shop.

$40 for a cheap looking t-shirt! humph.

This picture below would have been funny on a t-shirt.
