Banksy
Banksy is one of the most known artist in England. Eventhough he is an artist for years nobody knows his real identity, he was probably born in Bristol in 1970s. He started his work since 1990s and by this time he was a street art artist. Now he is selling his works on auctions but he is still mostly street art artist, he is also taking parts in some events but he is still anonymus. His paintings are about somthing more important, like politics problems in 21st century etc. Some time ago there was an art fairs in Venice, where were presented the best paintings from the whole world, on the street the were anonymus artist with 3 or 4 his paintings, the local policemans came to him and told him to go away beacouse he didn't have permission to sell his paintings there. Then banksy posted these works on his oficial profile.

It would be interesting to write something about how his art provides commentary on current issues, his self-destroyed painting included.
