The Art of Banksy

“Nothing in the world is more common than unsuccessful people with talent, leave the house before you find something worth staying in for. ” ― Banksy

We had the pleasure of visiting The Art of Banksy exhibit in Denver this past weekend. The exhibition is being held at the Denver Sports Castle.

This globally acclaimed showcase features original and authenticated works associated with, arguably, the most intriguing and talked-about artist in modern history, Banksy. The Art of Banksy is the largest touring exhibition of authentic Banksy artworks in the world.

We made our way through the exhibit and took everything in. There were prints, canvasses, screen-prints, sculptures, unique works and limited-edition pieces by Banksy on display.

“I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time.” ― Banksy

Banksy is infamous for his outdoor art which can be found in streets all around the world. The artwork in the exhibit was mainly dated between the years 1997 to 2008, the period which resulted in Banksy’s most recognizable & well-known works.

“People either love me or they hate me, or they don't really care.” ― Banksy

The exhibit featured iconic works such as ‘Girl and Balloon’ & ‘Flower Thrower’.

Over the years, Banksy has carried out a considerable number of ‘pranks’. One of the biggest stories in the art world recently was Banksy having his “Girl with Balloon” painting go through the shredder just moments after the work was sold for nearly $1.4 million at auction.

The exhibit was absorbing. The art was nonconformist, controversial and thought provoking; we really enjoyed it.

Big thanks to The Art of Banksy, exhibit staff, Erica Langwell and b public relations for hosting us!
