I believe the CM could benefit from a thread which has the sole purpose of displaying visual art created by those outside our own community. From time to time, I'd like to showcase artists I find interesting. Feel free to do the same.
To start, I'd like to profile Bansky, an graffiti artist working out of the United Kingdom. If you haven't heard of him, you've likely seen his work without recognizing who created it. His work is highly political, filled with satire, but also beautiful. As it stands, Bansky is anonymous. No one really knows who he is. Many claim to have "caught him in the act" but nothing has been proven. His work has captured Britain to such an extent that most of his work is never painted over, despite technically being graffiti.
