Streetphotography - Banksy - Photo Contest @juliank and @photocontests

in streetphotography •  7 years ago 

Walking through the flea market vibe of North Kensington, sampling local snacks and looking through the offerings of merchants through the narrow streets of London.

I am struck by street art.

Real art that people cultivate a vision from, that derive personal value from.

Today's finding was a real Banksy, painstakingly preserved by a London group who seeks to make sure these can withstand the test of time. This included installing fiberglass in front of it to thwart people who wish to vandalize.

I always find it fitting when there are surveillance camera's near his work, and the giant red BANKSY was a nice additional touch.

It is awesome that there are people preserving his art this way, I have never seen one on the street. I got acquainted of him some years ago through a friend that recommended "Exit Through the Gift Shop" movie to me, have you seen it?

I did see it and thought it was beautifully done. In times such as this, I feel it so important to share these artistic expressions.
