Thorough explanation of next-generation Banksy's representative works
Zedsy's true identity has not been revealed other than that he is a "British graffiti artist."
The anonymous artist, who is active mainly in the UK, has a very similar identity to Banksy, and his characteristic of secretly creating stencil works on the streets is sometimes mistaken for new Banksy works.
The ritual at the time of publication, where people check their answers on the official website and Instagram , is also similar to Banksy.

1.Who is Zedsy?
Zedsy is an anonymous artist based mainly in the UK. His date of birth and real name are unknown.
He has also worked at the Louvre, Dismaland, Tate Modern, and the Vatican Museums, creating murals, paintings, prints, and ephemera using spray and acrylic paint.
In this article, we will introduce Zedsy, including explanations of his works, history, and how to purchase them. Will he be able to become world-famous for his activities, which could be called a second-hand version of Banksy?
Now is the time to focus on the similarities and differences between him and Banksy, as well as the messages he conveys through his works.
2.The charm of Zedsy
Zedsy's appeal lies in its identity as an unknown, anonymous artist.
In addition, his works, which are illegally spray-painted on public objects such as streets and walls using the stencil technique, are an attempt to update and reinterpret Banksy's satire of social politics.
His works are displayed in museums without permission, and his performances such as ``I am the next Banksy'' are attracting attention, especially in Europe.

5.Zedsy's influence on art history
Zedsy's motif is Banksy, who is credited with elevating graffiti art to the level of modern art.
In addition, he has left behind numerous works that embody the idea that art can change the world, and in recognition of his humanitarian support activities and influence on the global art scene, he was appointed professor emeritus at the University of the Arts .
Picasso's Guernica, one of the most powerful anti-war paintings in art history
Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain" is one of the most important works in the world of contemporary art.
Monet's "Water Lilies" is one of the paintings that condenses the aesthetic values ββof Impressionism.
Warhol's "Campbell Soup Can" is a piece of pop art with the theme of mass consumption and production.
These works that had a great influence on art history are said to have changed the way we view and think about art.
What kind of influence can Zedsee have on people and art with ideas that jump out from common sense, the risks of believing in one's own beliefs, and questions with no answers? I'm looking forward to your future activities.
6.Zedsy's masterpiece
We will introduce representative works left by Zedosi at the Louvre, Dismaland, Tate Modern, the Separation Wall, and the Vatican Museums.
Zedsy βPoison Appleβ
``Poison Apple'' is a work that Banksy exhibited without permission at ``Dismaland'' held in 2015.
The modern technology "Apple's iPhone" in Snow White's hands means that it is poisoning or harming people, like a poison apple.
Obvious social messages about the negative aspects of modern technology. Or is it just Snow White browsing Instagram? As it turns out, it's not so obvious.
An obvious social commentary on the role of modern technology on early loss of childhood. Or just Snow White playing Candy Crush? Not so obvious after all then.
When it was displayed at Dismaland without permission, the caption read ``I'm obsessed with Candy Crush,'' but on the official website it was changed to ``View Instagram.''
The gold edition of Zedsy's Poison Apple, which references Banksy's unauthorized museum performance, is a signed and numbered edition of 30 hand-finished prints, sold for Β£15 on the official website.
It was posted that 10 pounds of the 15 pounds would be donated to relief efforts in Syria, and as a result, more than 1,000 pounds was raised, which was donated to Syria Relief, a support organization based in Syria that provides direct aid, and H and in The donation was made to ``Hand for Syria.''
Zedsy βReduced Soup Canβ
``Reduced Soup Can'' is a work that was exhibited without permission at the Tate Modern, an art museum in London.
``Reduced Soup Can'' is a work of Campbell's tomato soup can with a Tesco discount sticker, revealing Andy Warhol's masterpiece ``Campbell's Soup Can'' and Banksy's ``Tesco Soup Can.'' This is a work with a motif.
There is a message that seems to mean that the value of pop art, which expresses the theme of a society of mass production and mass consumption, is declining.
If art makes people stop, you're either doing something right or something terribly wrong.
If art makes people stop you're either doing something right or something terribly wrong.
Zedsy shared a glimpse of the exhibit at London's Tate Modern on Instagram, reporting that it is displayed opposite Andy Warhol's Marilyn Diptyque.
What value do you place on art ?
Zedsy, who announced that he would be selling his prints after they were exhibited at Tate Modern, regularly announced on Instagram how his "Reduced Soup Can" was being produced.
Zedsy "'Kamikaze Dove', Vatican Museum."
``La Colomba Kamikaze (The Kamikaze Pigeon)'' is a work that was exhibited without permission at the ``Vatican Museums'' in Italy.
La Colomba Kamikaze (Kamikaze Dove), like Noah's dove returning to the ark with an olive branch and symbolizing the hope of a new world, holds a match made in heaven in its mouth and is a symbol of modern times. It represents the appearance of a returning pigeon.
``La Colomba Kamikaze'' (The Kamikaze Dove) was displayed next to the Raphael exhibit in the Vatican Museums.
Zedsy βBethlehemβ
The four works, ``Poison Reality,'' ``Animals,'' ``Saviour,'' and ``Flight,'' were displayed on a separation wall opposite Banksy's ``The Walled Off Hotel,'' which opened in Bethlehem in March 2017.
The Zedsee open-air gallery is located on the opposite wall of Bethlehem's "The Walled Off Hotel." The exhibition period will be available until the wind blows away due to the mercy of local weather conditions.
Open-air #Zedsy gallery located on the separation wall next to The Walled Off Hotel, Bethlehem. Exhibition duration at the mercy of local weather conditions, so available before it's gone with the wind.
On March 19, 2018, it was announced that the three works "Poison Reality," "Animals," and "Saviour" would be sold as the "Bethlehem Print Set," and a portion of the proceeds would be donated to a Palestinian charity. . These included cleaning water in Gaza, planting olive trees, and helping orphans in the West Bank.
Poison Reality
Poison Reality's Palestinian flag was hand-colored after finding inspiration at Tel Aviv Airport.
Mainstream media bias plays a major role in helping to manufacture Israel's crimes against Palestinians. It's poisonous.
Animals
Aminals (Catalysts) features agents used to incite natural reactions when faced with animals.
ZC/003 Do not feed animals
On hand is a depiction of Munch's Scream, along with the message, ``The devil is in the details.''
Saviour
The Savior is said to have been born in Bethlehem 2000 years ago.
Even in recent years, a savior was born when some people started painting the walls illegally.
Flight
Flight is a work that features a boy riding on an olive tree, flying high into the sky like a bird, and standing up against a bulldozer trying to bring down the tree.
The olive tree is an essential part of the Palestinian diet, as well as a symbol of hope and unity.
A homage to the Palestinian concept of βSumudβ β perseverance and determination that even under occupation the spirit never gives way.
"Sumud" refers to the indomitable spirit of the Palestinian people, who said that even though their homes were destroyed, their land stolen, and their olive trees burned during the Israeli occupation, their souls were not taken away from them. I am.
Zedsy βNeedle in a Haystackβ
"Needle in a Haystack" is a work that was exhibited without permission at the Louvre Museum in Paris on March 22, 2022.
The work ``Needle in a Haystack'' is an homage to the masterpiece ``Haystack'' by French painter Claude Monet, a representative of the 19th century Impressionist movement.The work ``Needle in a Haystack'' is based on the idea that a needle in a pile of straw means something difficult to find. It remained on display for three and a half days without being found.
Finding urban art at the Louvre is like looking for a needle in a haystack. So I thought I'd bring my own work with me.
Monet's "Stack of Straws" was put up for auction at Sotheby's on May 14, 2019, and sold for $110.7 million (approximately 12.115 billion yen). This is the highest price ever paid for a Monet or Impressionist work sold at auction.
