Delo je nastalo kao autentični grafiti mural koji se pojavljivao na javnim zidovima širom Londona, dok je njegova prva iteracija bila smeštena na čuvenom mostu Waterloo Bridge.

Rođen oko 1974. godine u Bristolu, u Engleskoj, pravi identitet Banksija ostaje nepotvrđen. Njegov rani život prekriven je velikom misterijom, mada je poznato da je počeo kao grafiti umetnik koji radi slobodnom rukom početkom avjos ninetieskih godina, kao deo vibrantne podzemne scene tog grada. Na njega su uticali umetnici poput 3D, osnivača grupe Massive Attack, a svoje veštine je usavršavao unutar DryBreadZ Crew (DBZ) zajednice. Ovaj period postavio je temelje njegovom prepoznatljivom stilu i buntovnom duhu.
Banksijev umetnički razvoj evoluirao je od grafita rađenih slobodnom rukom ka njegovoj autentičnoj tehnici zasnovanoj na šablonima (stencilu). Ovo mu je omogućilo bržu izvedbu složenih dizajna, što je bilo ključno za ilegalnu uličnu umetnost. Njegov rad je brzo stekao priznanje zbog svoje satire i subverzivne prirode, često kombinujući crni humor sa dirljivom društvenom komentarom. On vešto spaja vizuelne prizore i tekst, stvarajući snažne poruke koje osporavaju status quo.
Banksijev rad dosledno se bavi izazovnim temama kao što su:
Njegovi uticaji prevazilaze svet grafita, crpeći inspiraciju iz istorije umetnosti, popularne kulture i aktuelnih svetskih događaja.
Banksy je stvorio ogroman korpus dela, kako u javnim prostorima, tako i kroz limitirane serije printova. Neki od najistaknutijih primera uključuju:
Banksy nije samo umetnik; on je i posvećeni aktivista. Često koristi svoju umetnost kako bi skrenuo pažnju na društvena i politička pitanja, često organizujući složene intervencije u javnim prostorima. Njegov rad na izraelskom zidu na Zapadnoj obali, gde je dodavao slike i poruke na betonski zid, primerno je primer njegove posvećenosti podizanju svesti o sukobima i nepravdi.
Banksy je suštinski promenio percepciju ulične umetnosti, podigavši je sa nivoa vandalizma na nivo poštovanog oblika umetničkog izražavanja. Izazvao je tradicionalna shvatanja o autorstvu, vlasništvu i ulozi umetnosti u društvu. Njegov rad nastavlja da podstiče dijalog, inspiriše aktivizam i očarava publiku širom sveta. On predstavlja snažan glas otpora i podsetnik da umetnost može biti katalizator promene.
