Other Notable Works

At Bristol Zoo, he left the message "I want out. This place is too cold. Keeper smells. Boring, boring, boring." in the elephant enclosure.[123]

This is incorrect: Bristol doesn't have an elephant enclosure (and hasn't since 2002: [1]) and the cited source even states that the message was left in London Zoo:

'It was not nearly as dangerous as the time he sneaked into the elephant pen at the London Zoo and scrawled a graffiti message from the point of view of an elephant: "I want out. This place is too cold. Keeper smells. Boring, boring, boring."' [2]

Banksy art in Brick Lane, East End, 2004
Grin Reaper

Banksy is an anonymous England-based street artist, vandal, political activist, and film director.[1] His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique. His works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world.[2] Banksy's work grew out of the Bristol underground scene, which involved collaborations between artists and musicians.[3] Banksy says that he was inspired by 3D, a graffiti artist who later became a founding member of the English musical group Massive Attack.[4]

Banksy displays his art on publicly visible surfaces such as walls and self-built physical prop pieces. Banksy does not sell photographs or reproductions of his street graffiti, but art auctioneers have been known to attempt to sell his street art on location and leave the problem of its removal in the hands of the winning bidder.[5] Banksy created a documentary film, Exit Through the Gift Shop, billed as "the world's first street art disaster movie", which made its debut at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.[6] The film was released in the UK on 5 March 2010.[7] In January 2011, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary for the film.[8] In 2014, he was awarded Person of the Year at the 2014 Webby Awards.[9]

Nationality

It would make more sense to describe him as United Kingdom-based in the introduction. Or perhaps London-based. England-based doesn't really mean anything in this context.[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ubergoldfish (talk • contribs) 16:18, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

According to Artnet, Banksy was born circa 1974. Artnet is a WP:RELIABLESOURCE, so any rationale for not including this bit of information is wrong. http://www.artnet.com/artists/banksy/ 108.17.18.29 (talk) 20:25, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: That source actually says "it is thought that Banksy was born in Bristol, United Kingdom, c. 1974". They don't specify any sources or say who in fact thinks that, so I'm not comfortable adding that to the article. NiciVampireHeart 19:30, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
