Latest Banksy Exhibition: News and Pictures

Details of the latest (unofficial) Banksy Exhibition in London.

The Andipa Gallery, at Knightsbridge in London, is recently held a selling exhibition of rare works by the UKs leading urban artist, Banksy, including the largest canvas ever to come on the market.

All of the works on display were from the galleries collection, built up over the last three years.

The largest canvas for sale is “Are You Using That Chair”, a signed oil on canvas measuring 213 x 426 cm (84 x 167 ¾ in.)

The exhibition, which was not an official Banksy show, ran until Saturday 16th May.

For those who are unaware of the work of Banksy, Banksy is an unknown artist who started by painting street graffiti in the UK, and became known as the “urban guerilla artist”. He now has international acclaim and his studio works fetch very high prices.

Unfortunately the prices of the works in this exhibition were not displayed in the catalogue or on the web but were shown as £POA (Price On Application)

CJ this was unknown to me , the first pic reminded me of Rockwell for some reason. I do love Rockwell but this guy is unbelievable too.

Had never heard of Bansky but his work is really interesting.

Banksy has some refreshing ideas, worth checking out. Very talented wonderful man, I am tired of art that has to match the sofa or look pretty all the time – also tired of people who think having a pile of rotting tampons makes them an artist.

The dude is cool, great link. I found his canvas painting (at the top – the chair) less original than is graffiti type things.

He does wonderful work. I wonder if they will ever find out who this person is.

It’s amazing how Banksy has transformed from an anti-social vandal into a internationally reknowned artist. His works are amongst the best modern art in the world today. I guess it’s only a matter of time before his identity is revealed. Nice review, CJ.

I know recognize his works, I’ve seen these and he’s an awesome expressionist…I’m not sure if the art worlde characterizes him but that’s what I see…really cool imagery and get the point visuals….another well put piece Mr. Jordan Thanks for sharing!
