Banksy is my favourite stencil artist as like Sam Geer, Banksy bases his art around issues within the world and our society. However, his approach is entirely different. It's ironic. His art is always on a wall or side of a building, never on a piece of paper which I think is the best part of his work because not only does the basis of the individual pieces supply an effective and interesting back ground which emphasizes the foreground, but also the street art links well with the context of the art. In allot of his art there is use of chiaroscuro tone; a black or black and white painted or stencilled person or animal contrasted with a coloured aspect stencilled part of the piece which draws focus into different parts of the piece. The focus is not always clear nor the direct meaning, it;s thought provoking and leaves both an expressionist and iconic composition behind with it.
