Banksy is an anonymous street artist from England. His works are mostly filled with political and social commentary and have been plastered on streets, walls, and bridges all over the world. One of his works, "Mobile Lovers" really stood out to me because of its message and some fimiliarity I have had with this piece. In high school, I was in the National Art Honor Society and we painted a mural for the dance concert. The theme that year was "Look Up" and was all about cell phones in today's society. So the art department chose this piece to recreate for the mural of the concert to put in the lobby of the school, and I was able to help out with it. The message behind this piece is really all about cell phone in society today and how everyone is attached to theirs. It is amazing how Banksy was able to portray this on a door in the streets of Bristol.
