Worth A Look is a new feature that will point you into the direction of news stories and other cool things that exist outside of our normal content, but could still be considered relevant. Today, you should take a look at the controversial and highly provocative new exhibition from self-described UK Street Artist, Banksy.
Whether you love or hate his creations, it can’t be denied that UK-born artist Banksy is etching his name into a modern pop culture anti-hero.
His street art and graffiti creations have been seen all over the world, he has a highly successful alternative portfolio book, and he has made a considerable amount of money from his more consumable pieces - Brad Pitt reportedly has spent more than $2 million on his work in 2006, 2007 and 2008, and some of the early original pieces he bought are now thought to have doubled or even trebled in estimated value.
Banksy hit national headlines again today when a super-secret exhibition with brand new creations was unveiled at the City Museum and Art Gallery in Bristol. Check out some of the photos below for a look at the kind of work he has on display, and then head on over to the BBC for much more information and a video of some of the most elaborate work featured.
Check out the official Banksy website for a look at his prior work. The site is currently suffering from a traffic overload, but should be back at the weekend sometime if not sooner.
