His 'work' would make a lot more sense, and be way less pretentious, as political cartoons.
If he was in an interview, and he was asked about his thoughts on the increase of rapes and terror attacks across Europe caused by migrants, he'd tell them to wait an hour so he can paint an answer. He's using a complex format to convey the simplest ideas, and doing poorly at it.

Banksy is basically an edgy kid on facebook, except people like him for some reason. This art is unsubtle, boring, and essentially useless. I learnt nothing, thought no new thoughts, and didn't gain any understanding. I doubt banksy would be able to defend any of these blindingly obvious points under the slightest of questionings. I think maybe he uses his semi-anonymity as a crutch, allowing him to make a statement with no possibility of being challenged. The way in which his 'art' (a tragedy to even place it in that category) functions is truly the height of postmodernism. Banksy fails on all levels at creating art that has meaning to it; his art therefore lacks sticking power in the world and will be forgotten soon after he is gone.
TL;DR me no like him
