1;Banksy "red balloon girl"

Well this is it then my favourite piece of art currently, and if you know me well its quite obvious i was going to pick a banksy but which one, i like to think i know a lot about banksy well his inspirations and style yet i don't know his biography and i don't see the point in boring you with the rumours hearsay and speculation although its quite certain he was born in the UK.He normaly uses spray paint with cut stencils , yes he is a street artist a graffiti artist if you don't like that I'm sure there are plenty other people who agree with you and call it a mess vandalism or simply not art . i believe street art and graffiti alike give a voice to people who live in a more urban poverty driven place where normally a voice wouldn't be heard or at least given  a bit of care and attention.
but banksy is who i admire right now and throughout my teenage life in a wold where art can be considered a rich mans decadence banksy brings flare and bitter truths to the game .Banksy brought art to the masses by displaying it to the masses on walls in streets ,Bridges,residential areas he made the youth of today consider art again he comments on society on politics to consumerism and racism with a bitter Witt and a hidden truth .He has the ability to make graffiti beautiful and the quite loud
The piece of his i have chosen is called red balloon girl or hope for short it shows a black silhouette of a girl letting go of a balloon it dithers from some of Banksy's other work by being quite sad and mellow with out the humour i like this because it shows the diversity that banksy has in his portfolio and the ability he has to feel and convey emotion the message this piece sends is of letting go a love there are the words "there is always hope" next to the piece  , it can be interpreted anyway and i think that's the beauty of this work each viewer will see a different meaning feel different and all this beauty and humility in just spray paint on a lonely wall somewhere.
