After having looked around i have chosen to do my time capsule on Banksy, the famous Graffiti/street artist. Banksy is an artist who in my eyes is one of the most interesting and versatile artists of our time. His street work being found all over the world, from wrecked homes in post- hurricane Katrina in New Orleans to the partition wall in the Gaza strip. His art usually carries a political message either in a satirical form as shown in his image Napalm (seen below) where he has used the infamous image of a young girl in Vietnam after her village was napalmed. He has taken the image and incorporated Ronald Mc Donald and Mickey Mouse. His reputation for hiding his identity has only fuelled his rise in the art work even further, with his works now being sold for tens if not hundreds of thousands of pounds.
