Banksy
Banksy (1974 — ) is a graffiti artist from Bristol, UK, whose artwork has appeared throughout London and other locations around the world. Despite this he carefully manages to keep his real name from the mainstream media. However, many newspapers assert that his real name is Robert or Robin Banks.
Some believe that his stencilled graffiti provides a voice for those living in urban environments that could not otherwise express themselves, and that his work is also something which improves the aesthetic quality of urban surroundings; many others disagree, asserting that his work is simple vandalism
A common technique in Banksy’s art is to play on the perspective and edges of the item on which he is stencilling. Examples include ‘trapdoors’, ‘criminal rats’, photo opportunities and ‘peeing soldiers

Wk Interact
Worldwide accepted as a street artist, who works as well for fashion houses, WK Interact bandies energy and a enormous vivacity in his works. Black on white , his large format paintings appear to be human hurricanes which, on their passage have left behind steins on the walls. .
In general his paintings represent diffrent characters in movement with a hasty attitude which seem to involve us in the dynamic. Their ghost like presences are violent and use elements taken from the military world. It conveys a feeling of implicit violence
