Banksy citations
Page 3

Banksy est le pseudonyme d'un artiste connu pour son art urbain et également comme peintre et réalisateur. Dissimulant sa véritable identité, Banksy est entouré de mystère. Cet artiste combine les techniques de Warhol et l'œuvre in situ pour faire passer ses messages, qui mêlent souvent politique, humour et poésie comme Ernest Pignon-Ernest, Miss.Tic, Jef Aérosol ou Blek le rat. Les pochoirs de Banksy sont des images humoristiques, parfois combinées avec des slogans. Le message est généralement libertaire, antimilitariste, anticapitaliste ou antisystème. Ses personnages sont souvent des rats, des singes, des policiers, des soldats, des enfants, des personnes célèbres ou des personnes âgées.

“Je veux dire, il est dit que tu meurs deux fois. Une fois, quand tu arrêtes arrêtez de respirer et une deuxième fois, un peu plus tard, quand quelqu'un prononce ton nom pour la dernière fois.”

Banksy: Citations en anglais

“The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists.. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little.”

“Art is not like other culture because its success is not made by its audience. The public fill concert halls and cinemas everyday, we read novels by the millions, and buy records by the billions. 'We the people' affect the making and quality of most of our culture, but not our art.”

“Writing graffiti is about the most honest way you can be an artist. It takes no money to do it, you don't need an education to understand it and there's no admission fee.”

“T. V. has made going to the theatre seem pointless, photography has pretty much killed painting but graffiti has remained gloriously unspoilt by progress.”

Wall and Piece (2005)

“A lot of people think that scuttling around stenciling images onto buildings in the middle of the night is the action of a sad, frustrated individual who can't get attention or recognition any other way. They might be right, but I've done gallery shows and, if you've been hitting on people with all sorts of images in all sorts of places, they're a real step backwards, painting the streets means becoming an actual part of the city. It's not a spectator sport.”

Wall and Piece (2005)

“I pretty much use sketchbooks to note down great ideas of somebody else I've just had. A good sketchbook means you don't actually need to bother with having a memory yourself. You can get away with a fair bit of substance abuse if you always carry a notepad and a sharp pencil around with you.”

from "Street Sketchbook" by Tristan Manco

“When the paintings suddenly started going for, like, really big money it definitely weirded me out, and I kind of went away to the middle of nowhere and I stopped making any more paintings. But the whole time the auction houses were just selling paintings that I’d done years before and sold for not much money. Or paintings that I traded for a haircut or, you know, an ounce of weed and they were going for like 50 grand.”

Cut It Out (2004)

“Recipe idea: take on fire extinguisher and pour out all the contents. Mix down a nice bright emulsion paint to the consistency of full fat milk, stirring constantly to remove any lumps. Pour into the extinguisher, screw on cap tightly and write on things up to 50 feet high. Re-use by swapping over the CO2 charged canister (costs about one pound). The perfect accompaniment to a night out drinking heavily with friends.”

“Remember crime against property is not real crime. People look at an oil painting and admire the use of brushstrokes to convey meaning. People look at a graffiti painting and admire the use of a drainpipe to gain access.”
