BANKSY, AUTHORITY AND ART

Summary/Abstract: This study deals with how Banksy’s art began and evolved. While analyzing political, cultural, and social problems, Banksy’s works in which he depicts objects of everyday life and iconic social figures are also included. The messages he wanted to give over his works were tried to be read and the contribution of these messages to art were examined. It is evident that the artist has influenced a broad heterogeneous community and the easy readability of the message, which he wishes to give in this fame, also contributes. In this article, which examines Banksy’s works in the light of the factors that direct his understanding of art, the auction in London may have paved the way for re-questioning with the ‘Girl with the Balloon’. In this artistic uprising against the authority, the view of the museums and the relationship between the museum and art were also mentioned. The method of the study is a literature review.
