Graffiti artist, Robert Banks or otherwise know as Banksy is from Bristol, UK. His work is aesthetically intriguing and thought provoking. Banksy’s work traditional addresses the current issues of the community to which he is working in. One of the best examples of this is seen on Israel’s West Bank barrier. There are nine works, which were done by Banksy; they are displayed on the Palestine side of the barrier. The works address several different scenes. One depicts a sitting room in a house with a window that looks out on to a mountain scene. Banksy, was quoted as saying that the wall should be, “the ultimate activity holiday destination for graffiti writers.”
Israel officials say the West Bank barrier, which is a about a 400 mile long barricade of cement walls and barbwire, is absolutely necessary for the safety and security of the Israeli people. The images depicted on the West Bank Barrier reflect the concerns and views of many of the residents in the nearby communities. In an article by NPR, a Palestinian painter and sculptor by the name of Souleiman Mansour mentions that this wall is “heaven” for the contemporary artists because they encounter this type of subject matter all the time in their work.
