“The Simpsons” Banksy Open
by Demosthenes on Oct.11, 2010, under Arts & Crafts, Film & TV
Banksy is the pseudonym of a British graffiti artist, political activist and painter, whose identity is unconfirmed. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine irreverent dark humour with graffiti done in a distinctive stencilling technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world….and now, The Simpsons open. I’m unclear whether Banksy created this himself or if The Simpsons founder, Matt Groening, collaborated with Banksy on this satire. Either way, it’s utterly brilliant.
