Banksy's long-kept secret could be exposed in court battle

#bristol #bristolnews #curiously #banksy #art
Bristol's famous graffiti artist has built his career and persona around being anonymous. Many experts have attempted to unmask the creative genius over the years, but all to no avail.
But now it's feared the street artist's identity could be exposed in a High Court battle. One of the leading theories is that Banksy is really a man called Robin Gunningham who was born on July 28, 1973 in Yate.
Gunningham grew up in Easton and went to Bristol Cathedral School. The story goes that Gunningham started going by the name Robin Banks, which went on to become Banksy.

Robin Gunningham. Pretty much the whole of Bristol knows and have known for years. He's actually become what he hates... Corporate, fiddly about trademarks and copyright and selling to people where they use artwork for tax avoidance and is a form of money laundering. If you do anything long enough you lose your initial values and become what you hate.

Let the man hide his face. Who cares about his real name. And let the guy be.

And I’m sure he will get many criminal vandalism charges placed on him when he is revealed. Cities no not call it art but vandalism

Such a false article….leaves no clues. What about all the discarded cable ties often found around the works? They are all done with permission and covered scaffolding 😂
