It has been some time since I visited the Banksy vs. Bristol Museum exhibition, however, I feel that -as a Bristolian Banksy lover- I should probably allow other Banksy lovers, not from Bristol, the chance to see some of the works hence create a blog on it.
Banksy has provided his voracious enthusiasts with plenty of stimulus. The sorrowful atmosphere of some pieces can be really influential; inspiring a strong reflection on man-kind and it's direction. Others can offer witty and comic points giving a slight comic reflief.
This exhibition has something else to offer that a lot of art exhibitions cannot. A strong sense of 3D, a sense of the surreal and a sense of fun. The exhibition was as eccentric as the Mad-Hatter's tea party with a strongly creative and fun tone, however, was succinctly brusque in it's portrayal of themes. However surreal the works got, it's easy to say that people of all ages and backgrounds could relate to the pieces with whatever perception they had.
Banksy vs. Bristol Museum feels very interactive and concise, as the animatronix sat behind bars, artwork was disposed of and paving warped.
So much of Banksy vs. Bristol Museum relates to everyday life and is so free in it's expression, this - I feel - will make it more influential to young people.
A great day out and easily entertaining for anyone. Surreal, stimulating and suggestive.
