This exhibition allows visitors to experience the representative works of Banksy, an outlier in the art world who continues to express himself on the streets of today, on an actual scale. Selected from Banksy’s street artworks scattered around the world, the TV station’s art team will recreate the entire cityscape in real size, allowing visitors to experience an immersive space as if they were on the spot. The realistic cityscapes, which look like a movie set, from Banksy’s hometown of Bristol, England, to London, New York, Los Angeles, and the Middle East, can be photographed and posted on SNS. Photographs of Banksy at work and works from his private collection will be on display, as well as a rare oil painting, “Congestion Charge,” on loan from Paul Smith, a well-known Banksy lover, which will be on special display.
