Assuming it is he who has produced it. Who knows? That’s the trouble when you do things in secret under an alias. How do we know if he (let’s assume it is a he) hasn’t really been dead for years and is now just being copied by at least one imposter? How do we know there ever even was an individual behind these works to begin with? But putting that to one side…
I remember he spray painted some vaguely interesting pieces around 20 years ago. One of them was a big rat on the side of a decrepit old building in Liverpool, which had created some graffiti of its own. Whether an autobiographical piece or not I don’t know, but it seemed vaguely edgy and didn’t have any obvious political connotations. There was also the element of novelty and intrigue.
However, most of what I see attributed to this artist, particularly in more recent years, is sickly, cheesy crap with a distinctly left wing flavour. A girl who has let go of her balloon, “aawww!”. Some tripe about our heroes in the NHS. An antifa thug throwing a bunch of flowers instead of a molotov cocktail. A judge attacking a protestor (perhaps a Palestinian one, or a climate change nutter, or… maybe one of the Southport rioters…? It was unclear, we can pretty much make of it what we please – everyone’s a winner).
The latest one might be the statue in central London, shown at the link below. People are speculating that it is his work. It looks to me as though it shows Donald Trump marching with a flag, but being blinded by his patriotism or something. The individual depicted appears ridiculous. Other messaging would seem to suggest we should beware of any flags associated with men wearing western attire. We could speculate further that it is against patriotism, countries, those who present as strong leaders, white men. It has a lefty, globalist sort of tinge to it.
The first thing idiots in the comments ask is “but how does he do it? There are cameras everywhere!” … perhaps because “he” is on the payroll of the state and this regime-approved, progressive slop looks distinctly like a Nudge Unit psy-op? It presents all of the official narratives you would expect to see on the BBC and most other mainstream media outlets, but plays the trick of presenting itself as mysterious and subversive. People are distracted by the apparent randomness and how it got there.
I might appear paranoid and one with conspiratorial instincts, but it seems to me that we are, more than ever, subjected to a never ending pack of lies. This supposedly edgy graffiti and other such garbage reminds me a lot of that awful shite on Netflix called “Adolescence”. Remember how the Prime Minister kept plugging that attack on the white nuclear family as a “documentary”? It all has the suspicious air of not ringing true. Not being particularly authentic. Like clumsy propaganda.
The more and more we have sleep walked into a totalitarian society, so it is that the regime (the state and/or others) and its narratives infest all corners of life. It becomes, as the word suggests, “total”. You cannot trust any news report, trial, public inquiry, entertainment, art, even protests seem to be largely astroturfed affairs and when they aren’t, the state will respond very rapidly in draconian fashion.
Diversity is our strength, comrades!
