Banksy is a stencil artist based in the uk, but his works are seen all over the world. I chose to look at his works because they are interesting, as they raise questions about political and social issues. Banksy uses stencils and spray paint to complete his works.
This work is in boston, in chinatown, and I choose to look at this work because I like the statement of it. It talks about how society tells us to "follow our dreams" and to do what we want, but shuns us when we are "different" hense why is says CANCELLED.
Although banksy's work can pose bigger questions, he also does some that might seem silly etc. He works a lot with what he sees around him, e.g. the faded ING in PARKING and so he stencilled a girl on a swing underneath, which doesn't raise a big "life question" but it does you would smile if you saw it. The same goes for the second image.
