week 1-BANKSY_context
From one of the many works from the famous and controversial street artist "Banksy" who is also my practitioner I chose to write my essay about .I decided to use this piece 'The man and his flowers". "I like the idea of how he portrays this man who looks like a criminal holding beautiful flowers instead of a bomb or weaponry".
Although the man is in only black and white, It kinda represents a nation of suffering, and not just himself because of the use of colour used on this man. I find the black and white doesn't really stand out, rather giving that idea of him trying to blend in with a crowd of rebels raging riots in communities because of the suffering from political and government issues.
also his idea of flowers rather than a bomb i found was just pure genius . the flowers are in colour rather than black and white like the man shown in the image. to me it represents him not trying to throw a bomb and creating more controversy, but it symbolizes him trying to throw and create peace, to stop the violence happening around the world.
