I reckon Banksy is “the” artist of our era. In a hundred years, five hundred years, I hope that when people think of the early 21st century, they think of Banksy and illustrate all documentaries with this artists work.

His artwork’s technical value is quite unremarkable. People only like it because of current social context. That content won’t hold over centuries and it’ll likely fade to the footnotes of art history

His artwork’s technical value isnt that great. The social value is the artistic value.

I think there will still be a Banksy in 500 years (if there is anything still living, of course)
