Banksy Quotes About Painting

• La experiencia me ha enseñado que un cuadro no se acaba cuando se deja el pincel, sino que empieza. La reacción del público es lo que le da sentido y valor. El arte cobra vida en las discusiones que se tienen sobre él.

• I think its pretty clear that film is the pre-eminent art form of our age. If Michaelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci were alive today they’d be making Avatar, not painting a chapel. Film is incredibly democratic and accessible, it’s probably the best option if you actually want to change the world, not just re-decorate it.

• Remember crime against property is not real crime. People look at an oil painting and admire the use of brushstrokes to convey meaning. People look at a graffiti painting and admire the use of a drainpipe to gain access.

• Graffiti ultimately wins out over proper art because it becomes part of your city, it' s a tool; "I'll meet you in that pub, you know, the one opposite that wall with a picture of a monkey holding a chainsaw". I mean, how much more useful can a painting be than that?

• Los policías y los guardias de seguridad llevan sombreros con una visera que les cubre los ojos. Parece ser que es por razones psicológicas. Las cejas son muy expresivas y uno parece mucho más autoritario si las lleva tapadas. La ventaja es que a los policías les resulta mucho más difícil ver algo a más de dos metros del suelo. Por eso es tan fácil pintar tejados y puentes.

• Sobre la pintura de ratas y su glorificación. Existen sin permiso. Son odiadas, cazadas y perseguidas. Viven en silenciosa desesperación entre la inmundicia. Y, sin embargo, son capaces de poner de rodillas a civilizaciones enteras. Si eres sucio, insignificante y no te quieren, las ratas son el mejor modelo a seguir.

• T.V. has made going to the theatre seem pointless, photography has pretty much killed painting but graffiti has remained gloriously unspoilt by progress.

• It's impossible to predict which paintings will last and which won't. In New Orleans I painted on a dilapidated shop in a street littered with abandoned cars and rotting mattresses, then two hours later the piece was gone. It turned out I'd picked the side of a crack house and the proprietor didn't like the attention.
