Over the years, I had heard of the artist Banksy and maybe seen an image of one or two pieces but really had no overall idea of his ideas in art other than the fact that he worked in street art. Because he is an elusive character, there was no major information about the artist himself, but there was a very large exhibit with some commentary on a good number of the pieces. These were very helpful in appreciating the nature of his work and his approach to societal issues. I came out of the exhibit, very impressed that Banksy takes such a principled approach to many of the most difficult issues in the world today, something that I wish many politicians would as well.
