I picked 'Banksy' because he is a UK graffiti artist who remains unknown. His work expressed serious and important incidents that society judged or needed to be told about. His graffiti art that was focusing on stereotypes I am especially inspired by as it relates to my personal comment project and is something I'm going to create in my own way.

This photograph shows a women dressed in a maids outfit cleaning with her broom behind her. This shows the stereotypical women who is the house wife who does the cooking and cleaning for the male gender. This photograph has meaning to show society that this isn't always the case and how society can sometimes be brain washed to believe this. The graffiti has been created amazingly and shows personal comment of stereotypes very well in my eyes. This photograph has been presented on a wall for society to walk past and decided the message they want to gain from it. Therefore mine is that Banksy has specifically created this to show how this is a main stereotype in society and by the women staring at you when you view the photograph shows the anger she feels about being stereotyped as this.

This photograph is showing the stereotype of African American's and stereotyping there pop culture through there appearance. This is done by the costume of baggy top and chunky bling as well as the facial expression of having a strong attitude. By designing this stereotype creating a child causes this art to be shocking towards society. It also ruins the vulnerability of children and makes the viewers deeply think about the meaning behind this photograph and the choices he has made.

The stereotype is showing how teenagers are always portrayed to be wearing the iconic hoodie and track suit bottoms. Banksy as created this by not showing the teenagers face this shows that the message behind this piece of art is that teenagers who wear these clothes could be a boy or girl, horrible or loving everyone is different and the way society stereotype teenagers who wear these clothing to be rebellious children is wrong. The way this photograph has been created by a rough location on a wall makes this stereotype even more realistic.

This photograph is showing the stereotype of gender as its showing that all women are maids and are perfect house wife's who cook, clean and look after the children. Also that the stereotype for men are that the male gender are the only ones who go into army. However this piece of art is showing the young women having control over the strong man. This is done to confuse society and show that something one person expresses most people will agree and believe as well. This piece of art has been created very well and I really like how the colours match the stereotypes as pink is stereotypically a girls colour.








Banksy's work will influence me with my own project which is personal comment because the key features of the stereotypes he has used I will create in my own way. The way he has presented them in different locations will help with my understanding of each stereotype.

Overall I take a huge interest in Banksy's work and the messages he brings across involving stereotypes will help me with my own project. The tones colours and the location he has presented them in are my favourite part of his designing. Lastly as Bansky is an unknown graffiti artist makes these photograph even more adventurous and fascinating to read and create your own meaning.
