Having opened on May 10, the anonymous artist Banksy is now the subject of a fascinating exhibition at Ground Seoul, called REAL BANKSY: Banksy is NOWHERE. More than 130 Banksy works will be on view, including 29 works officially certified by the artist’s Pest Control company as being 100% authentic. Tickets are on sale now, and you can find yours here.
Banksy is one of the most iconic artists of our time, whose popularity has grown far beyond his native England. With enthusiastic support from the art world and critics, as well as the public, his works are always in the spotlight. Calling himself an ‘art terrorist’, he has consistently created works with messages of violence, discrimination, and resistance to authority, which have become recognisable all over the world.
REAL BANKSY: Banksy is NOWHERE explains in depth what Banksy was trying to convey through more than 130 of his works, and the exhibition unfolds across four separate chapters. Amongst the works on display here are Love is in the air (Flower Thrower), Girl with Balloon, and Happy Choppers, which makes this largest Banksy exhibition ever staged in Korea. You’ll also be able to see a giant 14-meter-long drawing of Banksy’s famed theme park Dismaland, as well as a reproduction of the artist’s ATM performance, at this unforgettable art exhibition.
REAL BANKSY: Banksy is NOWHERE runs until October 20 at Ground Seoul (though it will be closed for Chuseok), and you can find your tickets via Fever. Don’t miss out!
