2. Banksy
Banksy was born in 1974 in Bristol and well known as an outlaw street artist
because what he does is illegal and trespassing. His Identify is still unknown.
He began his career in the late 1990s in a gang called DryBreadZ Crew in
Bristol. When he first started of doing graffiti he manly used freehand but as
time went past he then began to use stencils for his art work in the late 90s,
by doing this he became really famous around Bristol and London.
His art work represents Politics, critiquing war, capitalism, hypocrisy and
greed. The reason for this is because of is up bringing, at that time there was
a lot of violence on the streets which affected him as you can see in his
artwork.
Personally I do not like his because of his lack of colour and that he ruins
famous artefacts like in Disneyland he put a fake prisoner in one of the rides.

3. Os Gêmeos (THETWINS)
Gustavo and Otavio Pandolfo worked together since they where children.
When they was growing up in the streets of Cambuci they learnt many skills
like graffitiing on the walls through the language of art. As growing up hip hop
was massive back in the day, (still is today) they found a relationship with art
and music, that’s how they became graffiti artists.
As there career became more and more famous they began seeing there art in
museums and galleries in lots of different country's such as Cuba, Chile, the
United States of America, Italy, Spain, England, Germany, Lithuania and Japan
and many more.
Personally I do not like there work because it seems childish and has a lack of
creativity

4. Swoon (Caledonia Dance Curry)
She is an American street artist and was born in 1977, she was involved in the
pop art movement and she was Gordon Matta-Clark who was well known in
the street. She dose not use permeant paint so this means the wall could be
cleaned easily (the rain could take it of).
Advantage is that its not permeant so that its not ruining anything
Disadvantage is that her work will only be noticed for a little time maybe a
day or two.
This is a great way to work because then everyone's happy no buildings or
walls etc. are getting ruined and the arties gets to do the work and able to
post it online if they want for others to see
5. Escif
Escif is an Spanish street artist you can find most of his work on the streets of
Valencia and in some countries like Canada, Italy, France, Poland. He uses the
murals technique because he fills the whole wall and some buildings. An
advantage for this is that its easy to see because its really big but a
disadvantage is that I could take a lot of time to do.
I do like his work because its creative and it also passion about art.
