Banksy citáty
strana 3

Banksy je pseudonym anglického street artového umělce pocházejícího z bristolské undergroundové scény, jehož skutečná identita je neznámá. Banksyho díla jsou často satirická a nesou politické či kulturní poselství. Jeho street art, který kombinuje graffiti s využitím šablonové techniky, se objevil v Londýně i v jiných městech po světě. Banksy také vytvořil v roce 2010 uvítací skeč v seriálu Simpsonovi v díle MoneyBART zobrazující pracující Asiaty vytvářející samotný seriál v žalostných podmínkách. Skeč byl inspirován zjištěním, že Simpsonovi jsou z velké části vyráběni v Jižní Koreji. Na konci roku 2010 se rozhodl finančně vypomoci stíhaným umělcům z ruské skupiny Vojna. Režíroval také film Exit Through the Gift Shop, který měl premiéru na Sundance Film Festivalu v roce 2010. V říjnu 2013 přinesla agentura Profimedia zprávu s fotkou, jež měla umělce zachytit; spolu s tím uvedla i jeho civilní jméno – Robin Banks.

Banksy nejznámější citáty

„Nevím, proč jsou lidé tak nadšeni, že zveřejňují detaily svého soukromého života na veřejnosti; zapomínají, že neviditelnost je supervelmocí.“

Banksy

„Pokaždé, když si myslím, že jsem vytvořil něco alespoň trochu originálního, zjistím, že to dělal už Blek Le Rat. Jenže on to dělal o dvacet let dřív než já.“

Banksy: Citáty anglicky

“The Art we look at is made by only a select few. A small group create, promote, purchase, exhibit and decide the success of Art. Only a few hundred people in the world have any real say. When you go to an Art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires…”

Wall and Piece (2005)

“The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists.. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little.”

“Art is not like other culture because its success is not made by its audience. The public fill concert halls and cinemas everyday, we read novels by the millions, and buy records by the billions. 'We the people' affect the making and quality of most of our culture, but not our art.”

“Writing graffiti is about the most honest way you can be an artist. It takes no money to do it, you don't need an education to understand it and there's no admission fee.”

“T. V. has made going to the theatre seem pointless, photography has pretty much killed painting but graffiti has remained gloriously unspoilt by progress.”

Wall and Piece (2005)

“A lot of people think that scuttling around stenciling images onto buildings in the middle of the night is the action of a sad, frustrated individual who can't get attention or recognition any other way. They might be right, but I've done gallery shows and, if you've been hitting on people with all sorts of images in all sorts of places, they're a real step backwards, painting the streets means becoming an actual part of the city. It's not a spectator sport.”

“I pretty much use sketchbooks to note down great ideas of somebody else I've just had. A good sketchbook means you don't actually need to bother with having a memory yourself. You can get away with a fair bit of substance abuse if you always carry a notepad and a sharp pencil around with you.”

“When the paintings suddenly started going for, like, really big money it definitely weirded me out, and I kind of went away to the middle of nowhere and I stopped making any more paintings. But the whole time the auction houses were just selling paintings that I’d done years before and sold for not much money. Or paintings that I traded for a haircut or, you know, an ounce of weed and they were going for like 50 grand.”

Cut It Out (2004)

“Recipe idea: take on fire extinguisher and pour out all the contents. Mix down a nice bright emulsion paint to the consistency of full fat milk, stirring constantly to remove any lumps. Pour into the extinguisher, screw on cap tightly and write on things up to 50 feet high. Re-use by swapping over the CO2 charged canister (costs about one pound). The perfect accompaniment to a night out drinking heavily with friends.”

“Remember crime against property is not real crime. People look at an oil painting and admire the use of brushstrokes to convey meaning. People look at a graffiti painting and admire the use of a drainpipe to gain access.”
