This from Wiki.

Banksy is one of the world's most notorious and popular street artists who continues to remain faceless in today's society.[54] He is known for his political, anti-war stencil art mainly in Bristol, England, but his work may be seen anywhere from Los Angeles to Palestine. In the UK, Banksy is the most recognizable icon for this cultural artistic movement and keeps his identity a secret to avoid arrest. Much of Banksy's artwork may be seen around the streets of London and surrounding suburbs, although he has painted pictures throughout the world, including the Middle East, where he has painted on Israel's controversial West Bank barrier with satirical images of life on the other side. One depicted a hole in the wall with an idyllic beach, while another shows a mountain landscape on the other side. A number of exhibitions also have taken place since 2000, and recent works of art have fetched vast sums of money. Banksy's art is a prime example of the classic controversy: vandalism vs. art. Art supporters endorse his work distributed in urban areas as pieces of art and some councils, such as Bristol and Islington, have officially protected them, while officials of other areas have deemed his work to be vandalism and have removed it.

And what do the "officials" replace his "vandalism" with, Tilly. *** all. I can't tell you how similar in Ireland has been welcomed and improved dull areas.

Ah, ok, see Gness, I thought you were saying that wall art is fun as a criticism of OG’s post saying it was just basically vandalism. I didn’t know you were ambivalent about it.

[gness]

Now, Zacs, surely by now you must know I'm never ambivalent. Wall art is what the artist wants to express. I see that expression. Fun or a message we need to listen to.

Aaaah yuz tae clever far me, Gness.

You've only just realised that, Zacs?! ;-)
