Yes but notice how high up they all are as well, I'm thinking the message is London will eventually be underwater in the near future and the animals will be traversing the city wherever/however they can using the rooftops and anything not underwater, i.e the goat, the monkeys, the wolf, and most obviously the piranhas filling up the phone booth (implying it will be full of water).

London has one of the most advanced CCTV systems in the world. They 100% know or could discover who Banksy is. He’s like a national hero to them so they’re protecting him for sure.
Don't be naive. He has a multimillion dollar business and his lawyers and other people know who he is. His pieces are worth a lot because it has been agreed on by the moneybags. It's about some clever ways with money, like all current "art" that looks like trash because it is.
@@edrcozonoking They do it for purpose only few of that graffiti culture understand . If they Perform while transforming to Art with a Clearer Message maybe it will have more value like Art than being called Graffiti
@@bobbymoss6160 How many of them are internationally renowned and sell work at auction for millions? He uses stencils, that's not graffiti, just because he uses spray paint does not mean what he does is graffiti.
That's the question, but his being celebrated does break a ceiling that could allow more tolerance to artists. Depending on the city, there are murals that are accepted and some that are not. The city and building owners decide.
1:37 is exactly why. Politically charged and it raises a certain level of awareness during these hard times for people with little recognition. The West is very blind from simple acts of kindness. His art transcended when people took notice and took the meaning for a greater purpose. Don’t overthink it it’s not hard
@@saki1206 It’s true, I don’t understand. He goes out onto the street, sprays the stencils, and is gone in just a few minutes. I just don’t get how that’s valued as art. Other artists spend years on their paintings, yet their work doesn’t fetch the same prices as Banksy’s. I really don’t understand it.
@@genki2705 You should look into it more. His work is well thought out with sometimes complex messages presented in a clever and a lot of times funny way. He is against the absurdity of the art world and it's focus on money which is why he makes free art for the community. The community for the most part loves him for this. We feel like we all own his public art when it isn't defaced or stollen. He uses stencils so that he can put it up quickly and get out. He is still the one designing and creating the stencils. He is a skilled artist but it's not really about his skill level but more the thought behind the pieces. A lot of times he uses the building or surroundings of the painting in a double meaning. Check out his piece "Love is in the Bin" which was a genius prank on the art world. If you like docs watch Exit Through the Gift Shop. Banksy made it and it demonstrates just how crazy the art world is. Like all of his work, it has twists and turns and layers of meaning and is so clever and funny.
Fun Fact...🙄 Those 'robbers' were actually employees of a Pinewood Studios-based fit-out & event installations company called Speed Events Ltd who presumably are contracted by Banksy to do all the on-site art installation work. One of the pretend 'thieves' made a bit of an error by wearing his Speed Events company logo'd workwear t-shirt during the 'theft' that was all carefully caught on camera...without subsequent prosecution by the police...🥴😟🙄🤔😉
Look I don’t care how famous this street artist is if he paints on private property without permission then the owner of that property has every right to cover it up
The problem is not the property owner having to cover it up. The problem is the cost for the property owner or the city of having to protect the home or the business from curious visitors, looters or defacers that Banksy isn’t helping them pay for. Even when the piece is removed, people will keep coming just to get a glimpse of “the spot” where it is or was. Crowds are a liability for the property owner.
It's great when people think that they understand impressionistic art. I mean, so many people. The comment section are so sure they know exactly what this means. You have no clue what your own life means led alone with these pictures mean.
Mystery? Notice how high up they all are, I'm thinking the message is London will eventually be underwater in the near future and the animals will be traversing the city wherever/however they can using the rooftops and anything not underwater, i.e the goat stuck looking down, the monkeys swinging, the wolf howling at the moon on a roof, pelicans eating fish from the water that would be filling the street, and most obviously the piranhas filling up the phone booth (implying it's full of water). It also makes sense that the gorillas would be the animals to realize the threat and help all of the others in captive escape, as they would best understand how to do so in the limited time they would have. Elephants being in a second floor window is a bit implausible though.
I though it ironic that the art depicts the animals wild and free and the last one was painted at the zoo where they are caged and the zoo was like, we’ll treasure it always…
The guy says, "It sort of makes you think." Really? Sort of? That's what his stuff is ALL about. The f'd up human condition. Our ignorance, our greed, our destruction and all of the INNOCENT BYSTANDERS like children and animals in our wake. This one, I think, is about animals taking back THEIR territory. THEIR world. I have great respect for this artist. It's not vandalism. It seems to me, to be a cry of desperation from a man who feels helpless among his species. These are my humble opinions. I wonder how many people really "got" Dismaland Bemusement Park? Anyway...
Oh my gosh! It can't be Mr. Bean. Mr. Bean is a fictional character. Anyways, he's too clumsy. He'd be falling off of buildings all of the time. Although, he is very quiet....so maybe.
A country where you can be thrown in jail for posting something that hurt someone's feelings vs. someone vandalizing property in the dark of night. I mean I guess so...
I love how he was a criminal until the communities showed love for him. Then the art world elites decided he was worthy to monetize and sell his free art for millions. Shame so many talented graffiti artist are seen as vandals and don't get the same chance.
I like Bansky but he's Mid at best and he uses stencils and wheat paste 😂 Also, they know who he is. You can't even relieve yourself in an emergency in public in London without getting a ticket the next day because of CCTV
@@presidentcamacho And all the hordes of graffiti 'artists' following him and imitating him are not at all talented as he admittedly is; therefore, they trash buildings, train cars, and public spaces. It's all visually irritating and not elevating in some way as true art is. Vandalism indeed!
Banksy is an industry plant and copied Blek le rat’s style. The way he’s protected I wouldn’t be surprised to find out he’s a member of the royal family.
Graphity becomes artwork only. If it's approved by the rich other than that, you go to jail for stuff like that. I'm sure that maybe your country's different than mine. I live in america I kinda stuff it's frowned on
The meaning is not a mystery. The final piece was animals being released from the zoo.
For rea
Animals free out in the wild
It means poopie.

I like that view too, It’s almost like it’s open for interpretation, art. lol
I think that Rhino was more mounting than climbing. Hahahaha!
especially with the traffic cone on the head of the other "rhino"!
Maybe because both are becoming extinct
It brings many smiles to people’s faces as they go about their busy day. In today’s stressful world it’s a gift. We should be protecting them.
funny how if anyone else did that, that would be vandalism
how do they even know it's his work? it's a frikkin' stencil.

No advanced system is going to identify a person behind a mask.
@Arhimith Duchamp wouldn’t even mount you on a wall.
No we don't. Most of us don't care about him. His time was over years ago.
Banksy is a millionaire from a band called 'Massive Attack.' They're well aware he's a tool of the agenda.
Protect the animals not profit! thats the message!!
Banksy= art worth millions
Me= vandalism and jail time.
Yes but can you do monkeys tho! ❤
"climbing" rhino lol

That’s what she said.
“Londons become a jungle”
Truer words have never been spoken. 😂
Banksy going through his naturalist phase is not on my 2024 bingo card but I’m here for it.
What creative placement 😊
The way it is done, people are liking the idea, very innovative...
London has CCTV virtually everywhere.
Doesn't London have like a million video cameras? How do they not see them doing it?
Because its been staged since the beginning.
They've been knowing who Bansky is for years 😅
Banksy is basically a corpo and not one person 😂
This gave me the chills... shedding light on a problem that's always ignored.
These bots are out of control

They tolerate it because its tastefully mixed into the buildings
Because he celebrates what make humanity great, but you keep doing your thing.
I’ll bet if they caught him doing it they’ll arrest him just to show off on camera they arrested Banksy.
Banksy influenced me to become a muralist. Doing it gives me peace.
This guy uses stencils and spray paint. He's like a child coloring in a picture book.

All dope af

Nice try Banksy
It wasn't that secret, Banksy had to get permission from the building owners.
Banksy needs to fill his banky.
How would they know it's the final piece? Of the series.
Hopefully someone paints over these as well.

It’s the missing link, nature has left our cities. We can’t forgot our roots.
You can't go to the bathroom in peace, without being watched. 🤣😅😔😭
It's funny how these images portray the animals being free in the city, but the reality is that animals will always be caged or owned.
That is not funy.

@@MalissiaCreates Yes, it is very ironic that the images of the animals are more free than the real ones, what a world we live in.

how do we know its the real, Banksy ?
that wasn't a climbing rhino he was hunchin
there was literally a CCTV next to the goat....how can they not tell who it is?
Banksy is probably a city employee in the it department
A country where you can be thrown in jail for posting something that hurt someone's feelings vs. someone vandalizing property in the dark of night. I mean I guess so...
Didn’t they prove it’s a group of people and not one person? I swear I watched a documentary on Netflix about this.
The grand irony of acclaim being given to Banksy must really annoy graffiti police. For that, I'm all for it. Really is absurd though.
Climbing rhino looks more like mounting rhino to me.
Dudes a poet with a can
If Banksy wants somewhere to do his art 🎨, I have a big wall 🧱 at my house in north Wales, I think is work is so cool 😎.
They know who he is
I would say that I rather have my house vandalized by graffiti artists to see beautiful elephants
When do they arrest the guy vandalized the city?
15 20 seconds to spray it? Nah
Why would you remove it it's worth thousands and thousands of dollars
