Category: Graffiti Murals

Banksy started spraying walls and trains in his hometown of Bristol. Since then the artist has left his colorful works of art in many places all over the world. Over time many murals were painted over or removed. But we still have photographies of many of those lost treasures. Graffiti artwork had always been something people disregard. People passed it by on the walls of alleyways, on bridges, on train cars, and never paid much attention. The world looked at graffiti as something rebellious teens do to get an adrenaline rush, or break the rules.
But things have changed!
Street art is the most celebrated type of art in our generation. It addresses topics that people really care about like social injustice, political corruption, war, climate change, the ninanial system, equality, and civil rights. Street art on graffiti murals is now the world’s most globally accessible genre of contemporary art.

… shows how a non-state approved artist can make some very punchy political points.

The mural “Snorting Copper” depicts a uniformed policeman on his hands and knees snorting a spray-painted line of coke. The artwork was made in Banksy’s signature stenciling technique and emphasizes his aversion to police officers and corruption.

Let Them Eat Crack

Post author By admin

Many street artists like Banksy compare themselves with rats, since they also have to hide, often work under cover of darkness and always be on the alert because their work is considered illegal.

This artwork is located at Broadway and was created with the permission of the city authorities. Maybe that is why the image of the rat here has an absolutely opposite meaning.

The phrase “let them eat crack” is a metaphor for the famous quote by Marie Antoinette “let them eat cake”. She said this in response to hearing about starving French peasants. This quote through the years has shown the inability of wealthy people to understand the problems of the lower class because of their privileged lifestyle.

With the money falling out of the rat’s brief case it is obvious that the rat resembles a Wall Street figure. By using the word “crack” in the place of “cake” Banksy suggests that the wealthy 1% of New York are out of touch and insensitive to the problems of the poor communities.

The artwork inspires the people and provokes emotion by providing a powerful message. Rich people are ignorant to the problems of the lower class completing the metaphor for Marie Antoinette was notoriously ignorant in her quote “Let them eat cake”
