Top 10: Banksy's best

Chances are you’ve heard of the (in)famous guerrilla graffiti artist Banksy. It’s fine even if you haven’t, as after you read this post, you’ll have seen his greatest, most intricate and most thought-provoking pieces of artwork of all time. Let’s start at 10, shall we?

You see anti-climb paint in Europe, but not so much in North America. What is it is a type of paint that never really dries… it sort of feels like glue or clay, therefore making it impossible to climb on.

For obvious reasons, this outdoor painting was extremely controversial. In the end, 97% of people in that area voted for it to stay up.

This one is so simple and cartoon-like, yet manages to be beautiful on so many levels.

Mona Lisa… bazooka-style.

Coppers kissing, another of Banksy’s epic signatures.

Yes, that’s a real elephant in a real museum. Animal rights activists screamed at the top of their lungs about this work, but Banksy assured us that the elephant’s saftey and well-being was the first of his priorities. The elephant signifies the massive problem of world hunger, and how many people completely ignore it.

And in first place… Banky’s hacking of Paris Hilton’s debut album. He went into British CD stores and replaced 500 copies with remixed Banksified versions. Note how Paris is “naked” on the cover.
