Moscow's Banksy





 P183 the Russian Banksy: Street art of P183, known as the Russian Banksy, Moscow, Russia - Jan 2012

Well, I have stumbled accross something incredible.

As I have my interview for Winchester university next week to study journalism, I have been religously reading the Guardian on my phone and they've featured a street artist; promclaimed the Moscow Banksy.

A lot like English Banksy, "P183" as he is known, presents his art is thought provoking and secretive manner. He reveals little about himself except the fact his name is Pavel, he is 28 and that he studied 'communicative design'.

The piece to the right is my favourite of the collection. For me, it represents the innocence and niavitiy of a child as she tries to make something beautiful out of something so ugly. Most people know hanging a few baubles upon barbed wire will make no difference but it's as if she still believes it will, which makes this picture so beauitful.

Below is some more of his work, just to enjoy.
