Banksy is a pseudonymous British graffiti artist. His artworks are often satirical pieces of art on topics such as politics, culture, and ethics. His street art, which combines writing in a distinctive stencilling technique, is similar to Blek le Rat, who began to work with stencils in 1981 in Paris and members of the anarcho-punk band Crass who maintained a graffiti stencil campaign on the London Tube System in the late 1970s and early 1980s. His art has appeared in cities around the world. Banksy's work was born out of the Bristol underground scene which involved collaborations between artists and musicians.
The Banksy film, Exit Through The Gift Shop, made its debut at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and was released in the UK in March.
The film opens in Denver at The Mayan Theatre on Friday, April 30th.
