Canvas Art By Banksy
Dec0
Banksy’s “kids on guns” was first spotted at Santa’s Ghetto in 2003 selling for approximately 450 pounds. The costs have gone up unrealistically now thanks to auctioning houses, making him one more artist who has climbed up the art work pricing stratosphere. The full idea that art can be so expensive is certainly disturbing and that to a graffiti artist like Banksy whose graft deals with a meaning rather than being modern art. “Kids on guns” is a cute stencil image of two youngsters standing together holding a heart formed balloon and a teddy bear. But as you move closer you understand that the youngsters are settled on a pile of guns. Stark reality indeed! War and peace forms the foundation of several the Banksy canvas pieces and this is no different. The entire idea of children being exposed to weapons at such a tender age will only bring about one response in a person. Shock and awe at the state in the world. With that Banksy achieves his aim! This is not the only piece of art he manages to accomplish this with, look out for the likes of the ‘Kissing Coppers’, ‘Banksy balloon Girl’ and ‘Stop and Search’ all of which transmit a message concerning the sign of the times we exist in.
