Article

I have chosen an article about an artist and his work. Banksy is the artist, he is a painter that makes graffitis always with social content.

So in this opportunity the painter made a work called “mobile lovers”, he painted on a piece of wood the image of a couple who are embracing which never disconnected from their mobiles phones.

I must say that the purpose of the artist was paint on a piece of wood with the intention to donate this piece and this way to raise money for a center-risk youth, located in Bristol, London.         Bristol Youth Club, which has been open for 120 years, needs to raise $ 200 billion to keep running.

The article to show some people do not share the fact of receiving money for the work I think this case the purpose is different.

This article caught my attention because I really like Banksy’s work so everything related with him I think is good to show it, I like the message than he sent in his works. The social criticism is some important for him and I think that this message would must be too sent to more artists, would be good idea to bring art to the people.  In this case I think is really admirable than Banksy donate his work for the  people,  more artists could do  the same , this way we could help directly with the art to the people than really to need it.
