jumpstart Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 So someone has spray painted “HELCH” on a railway viaduct in front of the view of Windsor castle. The queen is very unamused. How is this different to Banksy graffiti ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumpstart Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Either it’s all artwork or all just graffiti. If a pile of bricks in the Tate is art .....some of the stuff on the underground is neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree some graffiti shows an artistic skill. Bricks in the Tate or Emins "unmade bed" does absolutely nothing for me where Banksys stuff does. All his work displays a high level of artistic skill.
