CONTENTS

Banksy, a British artist and writer whose identity remains hidden to this day, is considered one of the leading exponents of contemporary street art.

"A Visual Protest. The Art of Banksy" is an exhibition project curated by Gianni Mercurio, which brings together about 80 works including paintings, numbered prints (limited editions by the artist), accompanied by objects, photographs and videos, about 60 covers of vinyls and music CDs designed by him and about 40 pieces of memorabilia (lithographs, stickers, prints, magazines, fanzines, promotional flyers), which will tell through a retrospective look at Banksy's work and thought.

Through the reading of the works, the strategies, meaning and goals of his messages and his stylistic signature, given by the stencil technique, honed by Banksy with the dual purpose of being able to execute illegal works with remarkable speed and at the same time make them more elaborate, will then be illustrated.
