Banksy : the pseudo-anonymous artist
20 SepSome artist is just different that the other.. some has their own creative ways in showing their artworks.. some.. just try to convince their ideology and principle to make surounding aware and open their eyes.. some feel art should be just as mystery as it should be…Yeh, different people intepret arts in different way.. because art is universal. Best describe Banksy in my opinion.. hehe have no clue who is Banksy is? Fret not, I’ll share:)
Banksy, of whom some believe is the shortened name of Robert Banks, has been claimed by some to hail from Bristol in England. He was previously involved in graffiti tagging in the late Nineties, but then quickly realized that graffiti, although beautiful, could sometimes take hours to complete, thus making the danger of being discovered or attracting authorities painfully high. He seeked a way to cut short the time spent on a design, and in his book, he stated that one day, while hiding from the cops under a train, he saw some words ’stenciled’ onto the bottom of the carriage, and realized that he found his solution.
A Banksy stenciled art is rather easily recognizable: he has a distinctive style, which normally requires a two or three layered stencil with fine linings and a lot of attention to details. He usually uses striking, familiar images or iconic figures, edits the image and adds either an element of dark humor or an utterly controversial replacement image. His direct message usually centers around anti-war, anti-advertising anti-capitalist, anti-establishment or pro-freedom.
Banksy had various forms & ways to display his art. He started out hitting the walls with his images, & soon his designs got larger and larger. He was also known to sneak into museums & art galleries to add his own work to their collection, usually funny musings with it’s own original message. It’s stuff that the common eye would not recognize instantly, and usually needs a second glance.
This is approve why he’s one of great master:

Theo Jansen: Modern Da Vincci
13 JunGasp! This is a coolest thing I see.. the thing only move by wind. can you believe it? **Jaw dropping** He has been working on combining art and engineering for 15years and then he got it! This guy is Brilliant! So who is this guy?
Who is Theo Jansen?
Theo Jansen (born March 17, 1948, in The Hague, Netherlands) is a Dutch artist and kinetic sculptor. Theo Jansen studied physics at the University of Delft (The Netherlands) He left University to become an artist. He has been working on creating a new life-form. Beach Animals. These creatures consist of walking skeletons. They are wind powered. Over the years an evolution has occurred, which can be seen in the succeeding generations. Eventually he wants to put these animals on the beach where they will lead their own lives.In a BMW television commercial, Jansen says, “The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds.”
How his sculptor work?
Theo Jansen creates unique machines that collect wind with their wings, and store the energy in bottles that he calls their stomachs.Once enough energy is stored, they can move on their own.He says the creations are made out of cheap plastic tubes and rope. A good stiff breeze of about 20 knots will immediately get them going, otherwise it can take a week or two for enough energy to be stored.
“It works with the wings in front, they pump up air in laminate bottles. That you could see as the wind stomach. They eat wind, they put it in the bottles and that’s energy which they can use for walking when the wind is gone,” Jansen said.To help me understand how it work. I found CGI simulation about Theo’s work:
Interesting right?
