I hate to burst your bubble, but no, it is not.
Most modern art just reinforces the standardized view of humanity wherein people are pigs meant to be slaughtered without hesitation.
We have all become slaves of the American Empire.

Your really not "bursting any bubbles" ..... Firstly graffiti isn't "modern art" its actually the oldest form of art its been about tens of thousands of years. Its also at its core very much a type of protest art form, like early hip hop its a way for poor people with very few materials to express in art form how disgruntled they are about the system. Also friend, this system of slavery you speak of relies on creating very rigid thought patterns that have people stating their opinions like they are facts, much as religions do .... that lack of open minded thought is what truly enslaves the individual and art in any of its forms is one of the best ways of challenging that. Thanks for your comment though :)

Your interpretation, is not entirely objectionable. And now my subjective interpretation: The economic prison we live in creates the need to express our objections to the reality of ever changing conditions. IMO most art tends to be some form of protest. Banksy does good work, though he is not alone, but I fear he has been embraced by his wealthy art overlords, Here is hoping they develop a conscience, but no guarrantee. He is already quite well known, though I suspect that his run won't end in death, like a Basquiat. I like these modern cave paintings spread across the world... it seems much more like a growing organism, like a some sort of intelligent bacteria gasping for air while searching for more space to expand and fill.
Oh well, and it's just paint on walls...
