the secret life of street art

A couple of years ago I discovered the wonderfully talented and extremely mysterious street graffiti artist, Banksy. Banksy is known for his satirical graffiti on topics ranging from politics, to ethics, to culture. His work is really quite amazing and I was absolutely thrilled to learn that a new film was coming out based on the secret world of street art, with an emphasis on Banksy. Take a look at the clip below:



Exit Through the Gift Shop makes its debut in Chicago at the Century Cinema on April 23 and I'm really quite intrigued to learn about the background of this very private art form.

Below are a few of Banksy's amazing works of graffiti:
