Banksy Filmed Painting Live For Exclusive Sunday Times Magazine Cover

So everyone has heard about the new Banksy film by now, ‘Exit Through the Gift Shop’, well he did an interview for the English Newspaper Magazine ‘The Sunday Times’ at the end of February 2010. They filmed him paint an exclusive chimp stencil for their cover and featured a pretty interesting interview with the man (done remotely of course…). Have a look…

Banksy Sunday Times Magazine Exclusive Cover – February 2010

Banksy gets some criticism from the graff world for selling out, but we reckon the interview put him in a pretty good light, unpretentious and humble.

On talking about painting on the streets… ‘…the fact of the matter is, if you exhibit in a gallery you have to compete against Rembrandt, but if you paint down an alley you only have to compete against a dustbin. I guess it’s the art equivalent of hanging around with fat people to make yourself look thin.’

Check out the short video of Banksy painting the chimp stencil, it’s interesting to see.

You can read some of the interview on The Times Online site.

Check out previous Banksy posts on World Graffiti, including the ‘Exit Through The Gift Shop’ trailer and photos from an exclusive private sale of Banksy stencil art.
