The subversive work of street artist Banksy is now showing in Bangkok.
The exhibition “The Art Of Banksy: Without Limits” kicked off last week and can be seen at Moca Bangkok on Kamphaeng Phet 6 Road until December 31. It is the first time the anarchic British graffiti artist has displayed his work in Thailand.
“The Art of Banksy” shows more than 150 of the artist’s works such as his original pieces, prints on different kinds of materials, photos, sculptures, murals, installations, mapping shows and much more.
As the enigmatic and elusive king of street art, Banksy has a unique power. He has an unnerving ability to get to the heart of the matter and is able to express strong political statements with poetry, energy and humour. Any location with his works becomes “the” place to see. When Bristol City centre asked residents to vote on whether they wanted Banksy’s work removed, 97% of people said it was a welcome addition to the town. His works are almost like limited gifts across the urban landscape.
Proceeds from the exhibition will fund Louise Michel, an independent lifeboat that patrols the Mediterranean for refugees in distress, that Banksy has generously supported.
