Banksy

An anonymous British graffiti artist who goes by “Banksy” has remained a mystery since he came onto the art scene in 1993. His art—with displays often on public bridges, tunnels, and walls—has dark humor and comments on political and social issues, too. His creativity extends to the screen, also, in his documentary Exit Through The Gift Shop. But even with all the notoriety for his work, the true identity of Banksy remains a mystery.
