Who Is Banksy?

Banksy remains one of the art world’s biggest mysteries. His politicised street art is globally recognised and appears in galleries and public spaces alike.

Early works from 1990s Bristol suggest he originates from the area. Reports about his identity vary, but none are confirmed.

A guide to Banksy identity theories explores possible candidates.

Some believe Banksy may be a collective due to the complexity and scale of his work.

In a short Banksy spraycation video , an artist is seen travelling in a campervan while creating murals.
