I chose a work by Banksy. He painted it in 2009, in London and more specifically in Camden. Banksy did not use stencil, he simply wrote to the painting his message, which is « I don’t believe in global warming » on the wall a building. His text is located at the bottom of the building, at the water level. The bottom of the message is difficult to read. He also uses irony, and denounces those who minimize the impact of global warming on the rising waters. To me it looks original because it is a little humorous, indeed the message is on the verge of being completely flooded with water. Personally, I have the feeling that this work of art convey an interesting message, especially because of the red and capital lettering which represents a call for help. I am convinced that this entertaining work of art will create the reflection in passers-by, it makes people aware that global warming is something which is important. In fact, people are used to speak about sports, or politic, but I find it strange that people don't talk about Tsunami, earthquake, ice melting. Here, he mentions an important problem: global warming, and the impact on the world. And I think it's awesome that a well-known artist is interested in these kinds of problems, because he has an influence on the population, and his audience is interested in these works, and therefore in the messages he conveys. That’s why I find this work very beautiful, because of the irony that it releases but also by the massage of Banksy.
