Banksy Tree Mural • North London, by topper on Apr 3, 2024 13:58:28 GMT 1, I still see one of the most iconic artwork of the contemporary art. As for galleries and all, not much has changed. Read Frida Kahlo's letter about wannabes artist in France And Duchamps and wife are mentioned for being the nicest artist and host ever. "I rather sit and sell tortillas, than to have any thing to do with those “Artistic” bitches of Paris" - losarciniegas.blogspot.com/2017/05/frida-kahlo-letter-to-nicholas-muray.html Ha! What a gem, thanks for sharing. Safe to say Frida didn't enjoy her time in Paris!
"They sit for hours on the “cafés” warming their precious behinds, and talk without stopping about “culture” “art” “revolution” and so on and so forth, thinking themselves the gods of the world, dreaming the most fantastic nonsense, and poisoning the air with theories and theories that never come true."

Banksy Tree Mural • North London, by loui on Apr 3, 2024 14:03:49 GMT 1, they painted the figure first and then used this bit to cover it while they sprayed the wall. The splashed paint doesn't look anything like the paint on the actual mural, so it wasn't used to cover the figure... also the figure would have a clear square around it, where paint was masked by this board, but it doesn't. He would have sprayed the paint and it then drips down the wall. Sorry didnt want to involve drip in this discussion.

The splashed paint doesn't look anything like the paint on the actual mural, so it wasn't used to cover the figure... also the figure would have a clear square around it, where paint was masked by this board, but it doesn't. The only place I can see where it might have been used, is on the right hand side, to protect the metal fence, or block the view slightly from the pavement next to them... but, again, the paint splats don't look the same as the mural. (I'm also curious about where that photo was taken, as the building and car park also don't look like the buildings around the mural.) When I arrived the piece of cardboard was lying adjacent to where the figure was painted on the grass. Still wet. I picked it up to see if it was the stencil, then left it where I found it next to the figure, IMO it was defo used to cover the figure while the wall was sprayed.
i went to get my family to show them and returned 5 mins later and the cardboard had been moved to the side of the building.

Kent Street, Birmingham B5 6RD Interesting that the cable for the shoes has been put up especially as there was no cable beforehand. Party coming to that sidewalk? Would DJs and gadgets be great for those within a few miles of that place? 😎

It is perhaps a little paradox of life that you can be both "no friend of Dorothy's" and yet still be good friends with "Dorothy's" !!! 😉 Friends is good and always appreciated, especially by Dorothy and all her friends.

Eheheh, rather, I really like the hats of the tin man and the scarecrow. I wore a metal funnel a few years ago during the carnival! :-)))
Too bad we don't have armor like that. In a fantasy world, everyone can be everyone's friend. 😎
I believe it is not Banksy's work. When Banksy organizes something, the surprise effect is always there.

Banksy Tree Mural • North London, by lukas01 on Apr 4, 2024 12:12:16 GMT 1, It could also be the work of Jps. I don't get the message. All that is art is welcome. We need a little color in this world.
The artists should fire their cannons on the soldiers in Gaza! This way they would make him understand how foolish it is to carry out the extermination order. But this is a different story.

Additionally, we are located in Germany, surely not flying over to Birmingham to paint that piece of shit 😂

The latter is from Brummie if I’m right.

Paintballing the soldiers in Gaza (with fire extinguishers)! Now that would be something to make them think?!
A variation on Banksy's pillow fight.. 😎

However, I think a hundred pillow shots might be helpful.

Banksy Tree Mural • North London, by alberti on Apr 5, 2024 8:36:17 GMT 1, The practice of throwing shoes on electrical wire is called "shoefiti" (shoe + graffiti). It has several meaning depending of the country and culture - bluetram.net/shoefiti-graffiti-hanged-up-in-the-air/
Pretty common in my country, mostly done by groups of street children/boys "in memory of loss". "Sometimes sneakers hanging somewhere are a sign of memory of a loved one who died in a given place. Or they are as a metaphor for a transition to heaven because these shoes will never touch the ground again."

Bring them to court OK to me, but public showings? Best to reserve justice to judges. Everything else makes you the same as the ones you condemn.
