The mysteries of Banksy

I don't want to know, I don't need to know. His art speaks for itself.

The timed shredding of his auctioned artwork was pure genius!. Banksy's true art is the meaning of his work..

More than “he’s a good person”, he attracts good people. An opportunistic person would sell him out in an instant no matter how good a person Banksy is.

What I love about his work is that you can see it on the streets and take a picture of it. You know you are a part of history and you can understand what the artist is saying in that very moment. I don’t need to know who he is because his work it provocative, uplifting and full of expression. Plus I like the idea he could be standing next to me on the street and I don’t know what he looks like.

The obsession over his anonymity is one of his best works, IMO. It's like people need to have that mystery even though it's really no longer there. It's interesting from the sociological and psychological perspective. The human need for mystery seems stronger than the need for answers. It's no secret who he is. I worked it out probably 10 years ago, and his musical collective has confirmed it several times in recent years. It's not really a mystery to anyone who appreciates his work as an artist and a musician.

I'm 27 now and I first saw Banksy art online, growing up. And it made me think that art has no rules when everyone around me was trying to push me towards doing it "the right way". I'm grateful for it a lot. Thank you Banksy ❤

Loved the shredding stunt. Ingenious idea. Look how much it increased in value because of it. What a show!

I don’t need to know. As an artist i have studied his work, as a person I have enjoyed his work. An artist who has the power to make people think can’t do it if he has people trying to take selfies with him or being the toast of town. His art will endure but it believe his work would suffer if we knew publicly who he was.

Banksy gets the wheels in my head turning till they start to smoke. He pushes me to be more expressive as an artist and to take more chances. I only do mixed media and landscapes now, but I have so many ideas. The thing is being brave enough to take that step to show what's really in my head

I love Banksy even more now that I know he was influenced by Jaws, one of the greatest films of all time.

The timed shredding of his auctioned artwork was pure genius!

Banksy is doing what I would love to do. As soon as I discovered him, I became a big fan. I hope to go to the UK and see some of his work in person some day. I highly recommend watching the great documentary about him called, "Exit through the Gift Shop". Thank you.

People don’t want to know his name. It’s part of the fun ❤

Steven Spielberg is a true genius, he unintentionally created Banksy.

The craziest thing about this piece has nothing to do with Banksy and his work, but in fact is something quite different: that they described Jaws as being a “cult movie”.

I own two Banksy prints. I find them to be whimsical and yet it kinda teases you at the same time. Hope his exhibit comes to America.

I love his provocative, eye opening true art. Please keep working and fight!!!

Can’t wait for it to come to America I love I love

Even if someone came forward as "Banksy," could it even be believed? The art has transcended the man.

I used to talk to a guy online on msm messenger back in the early 2000's who went by banksy and was into art
