The World of Banksy hosts over 115 artworks by the elusive creator
The exhibition displays murals, unique pieces from private collectors, grafiities, canvases, projections of his artworks, video installations, and more. Some pieces were reproduced and compiled especially for this unique show.
The exhibition covers a period of his early career from late 90’s to this year and features Banksy's most well known pieces like “Girl and Balloon” and “Sweep It Under The Carpet” as well as some of the artists’ lesser-known works. Each of more than 115 artworks in this careful selection is presented in their original size.
Who is Banksy?
Banksy, the British graffiti artist, is considered one of the main representatives of contemporary street art. His works, often satirical, address universal issues such as politics, culture or ethics.
He is one of the most famous “unknown people” whose thought-provoking works have appeared in some of the most controversial places around the world. While he transformed streets from London to New York, from Berlin to Timbuktu, from Gaza to Tokyo into a giant canvas, he was also hung on the walls of major art institutions such as the British Museum, Tate Modern and the Louvre Museum.
About the location (What a place!)
Just like Banksy usually presents his art at unusual places, our exhibition also takes place at an unusual location - St. Michael´s Church right in the heart of Prague. Czech priest and church reformer Jan Hus used to preach here in the 15th century. The church and adjacent monastery were later disestablished during the reforms of Emperor Joseph II in the 18th century. In its most recent history, the church building served as a warehouse and a nightclub. Now, after centuries, it finally hosts another reformer - Banksy!
