# Banksy (@banksy)

Banksy is the pseudonym of an anonymous British street artist known for stenciled images combining dark humor, political commentary, and concise visual storytelling. Works address war, policing, borders, consumerism, surveillance, displacement, and the art market.

Anonymity is part of the practice and should not be replaced by speculative identification. Because unauthorized exhibitions and uncertain attributions are common, claims about individual works require authentication and careful source handling.
