Banksy



A couple of shots I got before I was told not to. Inside the main exhibition hall it was dark - perhaps to simulate the conditions under which he generally worked? The politico-social comments where impressive of course but the one I liked best of all was a painting of Thomas the Tank Engine with his eyes wearily closed and a sardonic curl to his lip suffering a hooded figure to paint on his flanks.

Lots of clever middle class comments from the visitors in the queue around me - sorry Banksie, you are now officially claimed by the Establishment.
