Exhibition main visual Even if you are not particularly interested in art, there are probably very few people who have never heard of the name “Banksy.” As soon as his street art was discovered, people tried to tear it down and take it away, and a public vote was held on whether it should be erased or protected. At the Sotheby’s auction hall, the moment the work was sold, it was shredded by a shredder attached to the frame, surprising people all over the world. This unknown masked artist has now become a global pop icon. Banksy continues to strategically engage in activities that are always talked about by people. What is he trying to do through his art? This exhibition explores Banksy’s side as a street artist, media
strategist, and businessman by introducing Banksy’s works from the collection of the Kajiwara Hiroki Foundation of the Hodonkai Group Medical Corporation.
