After looking at Dotmaster, Adbusters and Banksy throughout my essay I found it interesting that they are all similar artists but all work very differently and have their own rebellion within them. Each of the artists create quite aggressive art work that could be considered a rebellion.
Banksy is the most well known graffiti artist in the world, even though he has never revealed his true identity. Quirky and political, his work has satirised oppression in Palestine, hypocrisy in politics and capitalist greed in London.
The Dotmaster is a UK artist that started painting on the streets of Brighton in the early ’90s. He takes a sideways look at a populist media with a typically English sense of humour. His work is extremely detailed. His half-tone work, stark black and white street pieces and unique, photo-real colour stencils all create street-based illusions that fool the eye.
Adbusters on the other hand, is a not-for-profit magazine fighting back against the hostile takeover of psychological, physical and cultural environments by commercial forces.
