Banksy sprays a Tube carriage.
Discussion
Artwork or vandalism? I'll say from the outset that I don't like graffiti as a general rule, BUT some of the stuff I've seen Banksy produce is clearly waaaaay more than just illiterate daubing.
This time however, I'm not convinced. I think it looks a mess and I wish he hadn't ruined a tube carriage in this way. Am I wrong to think this?

Yes usually he creates works of art. That just looks like graffiti as you say. This time however, I'm not convinced. I think it looks a mess and I wish he hadn't ruined a tube carriage in this way. Am I wrong to think this?

I like it, good idea. Presumably carriage owner can now auction it off for a fortune before it self destructs? Wouldn't it be great to combine that thought with a live charity auction during which the train can't drop below a certain speed, Keanu Reeves 'speed' style and every time it does , or if bidding stalls, a bit of the artwork disappears....or is that just me that likes that....
Marvellous, the juxtaposition between traditional Banksy artwork with the rat and type of tagging you'd usually see on trains from casual urban graffiti artists
really crosses boundaries and invites the observer to imagine a melting pot where both ends of the spectrum are essentially the same thing.

It's different on a carriage,
Why?

Presumably this was done with the permission of the carriage owners?
I don't bet but I'd put money on TFL being in on it. The way it's filmed, edited and the access afforded. If anyone else turned up at a tube station wearing that gear and kit, they'd not make it to the platform.Sheets Tabuer said:

Ladies and gentlemen, I do believe Mr Brian Sewell is among us. really crosses boundaries and invites the observer to imagine a melting pot where both ends of the spectrum are essentially the same thing.
