Building upon the incredible success of The Art of Banksy Without Limits in Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Asia and U.S., the exhibition is coming to Canada for the first time.
To date over 1,750,000 people have visited the exhibition around the world.
Regarded as one of the most valuable and talked about artists of our time, Banksy’s popularity cannot be denied. Some of Banksy’s works are carefully reproduced with his stencil technique especially for the exhibition and, in addition, visitors can view a mural installation by a renowned creative team, which authentically brings the spirit of street art to an indoor exhibit.
A video documentary gives visitors insights into Banksy’s life and work, all presented in a unique setting. The show promises – and delivers – a genuinely impressive experience and is a “must see” to celebrate or learn about his art. Other highlights include “Dismaland” installations from Banksy’s 2015 pop-up Bemusement Park, prints of “Flower Thrower” and “Kissing Coppers,” and the sculpture “Phone Booth.” Other surprises include a section dedicated to Banksy’s activism related to immigrants and an “infinity room” addressing politics.
The Art of Banksy Without Limits is not only an exhibition but a show with a philosophy as Banksy loves to provoke, shock, and even disturb society.” “He does it with humour and poetry indeed. Banksy has the unique ability to express through his works some truths that most people don’t have the courage to say out loud. And, nowadays, we need to be sincere, empathetic, and caring to one another more than ever. This is what Banksy’s art does: it has the power to unite people, ideas, values that can change the world for the better. Through The Art of Banksy: ‘Without Limits’ our mission is to present the truth about Banksy’s art and to carry his powerful message into the world.”
As part of the exhibition, there will also be a unique installation featuring a room dedicated to Ukraine that features Banksy’s interventions made in an area bombed in the war with Russia. Visitors will have the option to make donations, a little help for Ukraine. More information can be found at www.vvolunteer.com.br.
Visitors are also invited to join the spirit of Banksy's activism by spray painting their own T-shirt with a $2 donation to the M.V. Louise Michel organization.
