Banksy于1990年代布里斯托城市文化复兴期间,开始在街头留下标记。 到2000年,他已在伦敦涂鸦圈占有一席之地,并以模板喷画作为其标志创作手法。 随后数年,他开始吸引全球观众注目。 他早期的街头艺术作品包括伦敦南岸的《气球女孩》(Girl with Balloon),以及以色列约旦河西岸围墙上的《爱在空气中》(Love is in the Air)(又名《Flower Thrower》)。 同时,他亦开始在创作中加入艺术干扰元素,例如在卢浮宫“游击式”悬挂一幅带有黄色笑脸的蒙娜丽莎。 其《Crude Oils》系列则大胆戏仿梵高(Vincent van Gogh)、莫奈(Claude Monet)等西方经典大师之作,对传统艺术权威作出挑战。
随后数十年,Banksy逐渐奠定了其作为当代重要文化评论家的地位。 他的艺术作品触及警权暴力、全球政治冲突、气候变化及英国脱欧等多项社会议题。 在他的涂鸦背后,是一种信念:艺术应该与大众共存,并勇于向权力说真话。 尽管如此,Banksy亦通过其官方认证平台Pest Control发售艺术品。 他以老鼠和黑猩猩为主题的创作,更成为最具辨识度、于拍卖会上备受追捧的经典之作。
Banksy从未忘记“主流体制”竟然拥抱其反权威艺术的讽刺性。 其丝网印刷作品《白痴》(Morons)便嘲讽了拍卖界,画面戏仿了1987年佳士得创下纪录的梵高《向日葵》(Sunflowers)拍卖场面。 2018年,另一幅作品《气球女孩》(后更名为《爱在垃圾桶》(Love is in the Bin))于拍卖会上以遥控方式半自动撕碎,成为世界各地的头条新闻。 然而,Banksy亦善于运用艺术市场的力量。 2020年,在新冠疫情最严峻之时,他创作了《Game Changer》,向英国国民卫生服务体系(NHS)医护人员致敬。 Banksy将画作赠予南安普敦医院慈善基金,期望拍卖所得能用于支持医护及病人。 该画作于2021年3月在伦敦佳士得以16,758,000英镑成交,刷新了艺术家个人拍卖纪录,善款全数用于支持南安普敦大学医院。
Banksy亦拥有一部获奥斯卡提名的纪录片《Exit Through the Gift Shop》、开设过一间快闪“荒诞乐园”(Dismaland)以及位于伯利恒的反乌托邦酒店 The Walled-Off Hotel。 2019年,他更被票选为英国最受欢迎的艺术家,力压达芬奇、毕加索及莫奈等大师。
