Verified profile


From 8 September to 11 April 2020, around 80 works, in a rigorous exhibition itinerary, tell the world of Banksy . Inside the sixteenth-century architecture of the Chiostro del Bramante, in Rome, there is space for the “unknown” artist who has conquered the world thanks to works steeped in irony, denunciation, politics, intelligence, protest.

From Love is in the Air to Girl with Balloon; from Queen Vic to Napalm, from Toxic Mary to HMV, from press proofs for the book Wall & Piece to record projects for vinyl and CD covers.

Imagine a city where graffiti wasn't illegal, a city where everyone could draw wherever they want. Where every street was flooded with a myriad of colors and short expressions. Where waiting for the bus at the bus stop was never boring. A city that gave the impression of a party open to everyone, not just real estate agents and business magnates. Imagine a city like this and step away from the wall - the paint is fresh.

I really sucked with the spray can, so I began to cut out stencils, from the words of Banksy the indication on the technique he most used. On display, thanks to the stencil: prints on paper or canvas, together with a selection of unique works made with different techniques from oil or acrylic on canvas to spray on canvas, from stencils on metal or concrete to some resin sculptures painted polymer or painted bronze.
