Canvas Art By Banksy
Banksy’s “kids on guns” was first noticed at Santa’s Ghetto in 2003 selling for approximately 450 pounds. The costs have gone up unrealistically now because of auctioning houses, making him one more artist who has climbed up the art work pricing stratosphere. The full thought that art can be so expensive is certainly disturbing and that to a graffiti artist like Banksy whose work deals with a message instead of being up to date art. “Kids on guns” is a cute stencil picture of two children standing together holding a heart shaped balloon and a teddy bear. But as you progress nearer you understand that the youngsters are standing on a pile of guns. Stark realism indeed! War and peace forms the focal point of many the Banksy canvas pieces and this is no different. The full plan of youngsters being exposed to guns at such a young age will only bring about one reaction in a person. Shock and awe at the state of the world. With that Banksy achieves his aim! This is not the only piece of art he manages to do this with, look out for the likes of the ‘Kissing Coppers’, ‘Banksy balloon Girl‘ and ‘Stop and Search’ each and every one of which carry a message concerning the sign of the times we exist in.
