Banksy’s work goes far beyond graffiti on the wall, with carefully crafted techniques, underlying, understandable, sometimes shocking messages, logical and communicative twists and turns that make the contemporary artist’s portfolio unique, writes the portal.

According to Manu De Ros, the curator, the exhibition allows us to enter the artist’s universe and understand the themes he considers important.
An international team of painters works on the exhibition, reproducing the paintings with the same technique, details and colors each time the exhibition moves to a new venue.
Nearly 100 items are on display, including murals from around the world, artworks, spectacular art installations and Banksy’s larger-scale activities.

Who is Banksy? One person or a group? Is he a man, a woman? How does he choose his locations, what does he think about art, why does the world listen to him? The exhibition, which has opened its doors today, on May 3, seeks to answer these questions. It will be on show in Budapest until September, before traveling to Venice, Naples and New York.
