His real identity has never been officially confirmed, which has contributed to his mystery and worldwide fascination. Known for his distinctive stencil technique, Banksy creates bold, quick artworks that often combine dark humour with political and social messages. His work frequently critiques issues such as war, capitalism, and authority, appearing on walls, streets, and public spaces around the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of his most famous pieces include \u003cem\u003eGirl with Balloon\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eLove Is in the Bin\u003c\/em\u003e, which gained global attention for both their imagery and impact on the art world. In addition to street art, Banksy has worked in film, directing the documentary \u003cem\u003eExit Through the Gift Shop\u003c\/em\u003e in 2010. Today, he is regarded as one of the most influential and enigmatic artists of modern times, with his anonymity remaining a key part of his identity and appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"monkey-parliament","title":"Monkey Parliament (aka Question Time)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"detail_view_module prose\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"edition_details\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"related container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"products\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-3 col-lg-2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-title\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-title-outer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-title-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-title\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-title-outer\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonkey Parliament is an offset lithograph from Banksy's landmark 2009 exhibition at Bristol Museum.
