Any ideas?

Answer 1

Do you mean the dead telephone box with the pick axe sticking out of it and the red blood on the floor? I thought that was self evident.



There are a few Banksy pieces featuring the phone box... once a British icon found on street corners all over the country.... now just about gone, killed off by the mobile phone phenomenon. Lots of his pieces are placed for best effect... policemen in hidden doorways, people looking over or around things.... so the phone box is a perfect prop.

Answer 4

The meaning of true art is whatever is in demand at the time period it is exhibited in or era. Real art must poses balance, color, perspective and relate something of the times. Either old times,contemporary times and or the future landscapes,, pop-art portraits still life and other mediums. Sculptures, ( Stone bronze sand), glass, metals, oils water colors etc. If it is appealing to the seller and becomes in demand -it sells and sells, then the artist becomes popular and more people want to purchase it. You can be dirt poor and produce the best art ever but unless someone gets it to light you and your style of art will remain the same. It takes time and money. True art is in the eye of the beholder! ( and the buyer). All Art tells a story no matter how small or big the story may be . You can draw a small line on apiece of paper and that is real art.
