In an unexpected corner of London’s Finsbury Park, a new Banksy piece silently confronts passersby with a jarring juxtaposition of life and decay.

This vivid use of color and medium not only captivates visually but also provokes a deep contemplation of the themes it presents. The stark imagery of a dead tree in a park, where life is expected to flourish, is immediately compelling. Behind it, the wa ..read more

The play between shadow and reality is evident in these life size paste ups, a gap between will and ambition, or simply between present and future of the subjects caught in a moment of their lives. Levalet is not new at all to a critical commentary on our society, over the years he has developed a personal style resulting from an acute observation of reality, while always maintaining a poetic and never cynical gaze.

#carlomccormick, @erichazenyc It’s seminal! There were certain things that became the means by which hip-hop culture conquered the world, the original memes of graffiti and rap that went global. And this is the very first movie to do that. So it’s super, super important. It’s naive, and fresh, and not cynical. If you think about how urban movies are so much about the grit, crime, and despair, stuff like that, this movie is actually a really happy optimistic kind of film… In so many ways this was a really joyful kind of thing.  And really, what’s more radical than joy? – Carlo McCormick ..read more
