Street art is artwork created in public spaces, as opposed to traditional commercial galleries or museums. It includes murals, stencils, stickers and other media. Street art is sometimes seen as vandalism while others view it as a legitimate art form. Famous street artists include Banksy, who is known for his political and social commentary pieces done anonymously in public spaces. Banksy has achieved commercial success despite his anonymity and works comment on topics like consumerism, capitalism, and politics.
