Banksy, the enigmatic and elusive British street artist, gets into a lot of unexpected places for his art. 

His spray painted stencils have appeared everywhere from the sides of boats to health clinics. They've popped up in every city from Bristol to Bethlehem. His creations mostly consist of people in situations that could only happen where he has placed them—a girl getting eaten by an ATM, a man falling from a painted window on a wall. 

Despite his huge fame, Banksy’s identity has never been identified.  The artist seems like he once stood as a familiar moniker for all the unnamed graffiti artists of the world. He stood for the artists whose work on the canvases of urban landscapes is seen as destruction, rather than creation.  But now, a book and a documentary later, Banksy’s fame is so huge that the significance of Banksy’s hidden identity is only that Banksy has a hidden identity. Read his book Wall and Piece (2005) and see where he’s been.
