Being accessable by a larger amount of people, Banksy posters are one of the only ways most of us will ever truly own a ‘Banksy’. the paintings and graffiti, they reflect the transitory disposition of posters and fly poster’s brief world. You still can’t beat the graffiti art in the streets to show off the finest of Banksy’s work in graffiti.
The graffiti that you appreciate on the streets doesn’t take long to surface as a Banksy stencil, poster, print or spray painted images. Banksy continually manages to get the blend of humour, politics and amazing graphics just right. It is this combination that has made his creation stand out and become almost instantly recogniseable.
His impact has hit thousands of art afficionados with his very distinctive signature technique of mixing stencil art and graffiti. The majority of Banksy posters are actually mass produced which keeps the price down and attracts a broader group, however there are still many signed posters that are much sought after and can demand very high prices. Along with these, the earliest posters can be a great asset. Look out for the limited editions.
All of the Banksy art that is made on the street is not everlasting. Street art and graffiti is easily defaced and the walls they are on can simply be knocked down or painted over from time to time. Relocating work can be a difficult task. This is why for many, posters are great because they are transportable and can be stored and moved easily. I understand…. its not quite the same as an original Banksy on a brick wall or canvas but for a lot of us for now this will just have to make do!
