Banksy is aware that some people criticize him for using low brow sources. So, how he answers to that? Scrawling a quote from the 2000 film ‘Gladiator’ on a wall and writing this on his website: “I’m just going to use that hostility to make me stronger, not weaker”. By the way, that’s by Kelly Rowland, a guy from the TV show X-Factor. Now imagine that being said by a now dead philosopher. The long trip to Queens was pretty worthy, as the piece shows some of the signature elements by Banksy, including his hand-style typography and the great quality of the black and white stencil. Competing street artists have already defaced the work by scrawling all over it.
