Banksy

The art piece that I choose today is by Banksy, an anonymous British Graffiti artist.His art movement is often associated as one of anti-totalitarianism, communism, anarchism,anti- war, pacifism, atheism and anti-fascism.
Banksy is a renowned street art artist that has a distinct stenciling technique. A book entitled Wall and Piece contains the most notorious works of this artist.
I choose this stencil that is presented in the front cover of Wall and Piece because it presents great controversy. Banksy depicts a revolutionist, a figure that usually is seen throwing stones or cocktail Molotov, but in this piece Banksy portrays the man throwing flowers. This piece has a deep meaning of anti-war and pacifism and it promotes world peace.It can also be seen as an opposition against media, which usually shows violence and scandalous acts in war instead of the good actions that people do in wars.
