After watching the first half of Exit Through The Gift Shop i think that street art is a good way to express an artists feelings or their passion. Also Banksy is a specific individual as his identity is kept as a secret which makes people think more about who he is and why he has done this. The best piece of art that i have seen so far that i like is the one with the phone box that has been cut diagonally in half and put back together a different way which also has an axe stuck through it with red paint dripping down as if it were bleeding. He placed this piece of art in a public walk way once he had finished. I like it because it is different and makes you think why has he done this.
After watching the whole of the film I realised that this French person, who named himself 'Mr.Brainwash', who started off small, selling clothes in a shop for much more than their worth, then started going around helping street artists whilst constantly filming it all, basically frauded his way to the top in L.A and became a big success who basically copied other artists work. None of his own work was really self inspired and new to the world of street art.
