It’s believed that Banksy is a native of Yate (near Bristol) who was born in 1974, but there is substantial public uncertainty about his identity and basic personal and biographical details. However, according to Tristan Manco, Banksy was born in 1974 and raised in Bristol, England. He became involved in graffiti during the great Bristol aerosol boom of the late 1980s. His artworks are often satirical pieces of art which encompass topics from politics, culture, and ethics. His street art , which combines graffiti with a distinctive stencilling technique, has appeared in London and in cities around the world.
