Richie's opinion :

" I like the streetart, If it is really artistic, so I very like Banksy's artworks.

He inspired a lot of people, because he is not just a simple street artist , he is a political activist, and film director also, and make me a little bit angry, if someone don't respect his work, and make an attack to his art ( like the Well Hung Lover) .

It is the only art of Banksy in Bristol, that I saw as not a painted art to a wall - Unmissable! :) ."

Banksy's urban art has a universal and timeless appeal, the bandit and folk hero fighting corporate culture.

In summer 2009 Banksy - a native of Bristol - carried out an audacious 'heist' by transforming Bristol Museum and Art Gallery overnight.

The collision of urban art with the establishment museum highlighted a new attitude to culture.

The exhibition was probably one of the most publicised visual arts events in living memory and the most popular art exhibition ever held in Bristol.

The Paint Pot Angel was placed overnight in the front hall of the museum by Banksy for the 'Banksy versus the Bristol Museum' exhibition where it still remains today.
