Today in class I saw Banksy's work for the first time, and I really liked it. I think it's crazy how he did it all with spray paint, because the detail in the flowers is amazing. I think the man in the art is a middle-eastern civilian who is rioting against the police. If he wasn't holding the flowers, I think there would be a grenade in his hand. The flowers symbolize peace, and that instead of fighting their government, they should be peaceful with it. I think he is in black and white because he has no hope, but the flowers are really colorful, because they are hope.
I really like what you said about this picture.
ReplyDeleteI would have thought it would be a pebble in his hand instead of a bouquet of flowers.
