Banksy is the pseudonym of an anonymous English underground street art artist, political activist and filmmaker who has been working since the 1990s. Banksy's real name and origin are unknown, and there is a lot of controversy around his biography in society.
Banksy's works are recognized all over the world, and in 2016, under the pseudonym of Banksy, the book "Wall and Piece" ("Wall and the World") was published. Banksy graffiti, made in the technique of screen printing, appear in different cities of the planet and become a whole event in the life of modern society. The artist works in the style of satirical street art, touching on acute social topics: thoughtless consumption, social inequality, the age of control, environmental protection, the future for children.
The underground trend peculiar to Banksy, as a form of protest and opposition to official art and popular culture, is due to the harsh laws of the United Kingdom against those who engage in graffiti. This left its mark on the content of his work. One of Banksy's favorite images was a rat. The rat is a vivid symbol of the underground, an underground fighter for independence, one of the few creatures from the animal world that was able to resist all attempts at destruction by humans. An animal that, thanks to an incredible mind for such a small animal, has managed not only to survive in the underground conditions of urban sewers, basements and attics, but also increases its population from time to time to terrifying proportions, despite poisons and traps. Banksy noted: "I painted rats for three whole years, and then someone told me: what a talented anagram of the word "art" (English rat and art, respectively). And I had to pretend that I had known about it all my life."
The Stargift collection features an art object made on an original fragment of the Israeli-Palestinian wall. The element depicting the wall was made by Banksy himself and painted by local Palestinian artists in the original Banksy style. The fragment shows an image of a rat with a slingshot in its paws and the symbolic signature "freedom".
In 2005, Banksy visited the West Bank and painted his first works on the wall separating Israel and Palestine. Over the next fifteen years, he left a dozen more graffiti, organized exhibitions and performances in support of Palestinian Arabs, and even opened his own hotel in Bethlehem. Authentic Banksy works were cut out of the walls and auctioned.
