49 Controversial Illustrations By The French Banksy That Will Make You Think

Is a bit ironic...we use paper (from downed trees) to pass out “save our forests” flyers!!!

Hate Zoos. .

Forests and zoos are being polluted, thus zoos are saving a lot of animals from extinction. But again, zoos should make them feel safe and at home, not feel imprisoned, isolated and sad. I agree, they deserve to be out in the wild. But extinction and all that. If environmental pollution could be reduced, and if zoos could be more better for the animals, then the animals could be happier.

I see a kid who don't bother to pass a half of the banana to the monkey as what typically done from the visitors of the zoo. Is he is trying to tease him intentionally? The monkey is triple oppressed, don't you agree? He is in a very small prison that don't fit his natural capacity. The tree is cut, the ultimate entertainment for him. His drawings are expressing family! And he is alone!?. I think he was born in this prison, and his parents are no longer with him somehow, maybe died. Becasue his drawings illustrate the prison bars before him! strange. Its like he never looked at his place from outside. It would be very selfish of you if you argued that this is for the environment and to avoid extinction of theses species. Well if its for his own good, why he look so depressed? He supposed to be happy. Open the door and see if he would stay or just get the hell our of there.

Yes, we are the monkeys.

looks like Gainsbourg :-)

Only if monkeys were that intelligent. Oh wait, I think they are!

is it just me or the little guy looks like Donald trump

All his drawings have the cage bars on them.

(Chimp in Cage...) I call these, "My Room With a View" series. And this one here... "As I See It".

I met a monkey in a zoo once in this exact situation. We had a silent conversation about how much I thought it sucked that he had to be in there, and he agreed with me wholeheartedly. I think about him from time to time, and I hope they stop this horrible practice.

OMG! #TRUTH We have ABSOLUTELY no need for zoos anymore!! The ONLY reason for keeping ANY wild animals in some kind of VERY LARGE captive situation is if their numbers have SO dwindled their breeding could be assisted and the animals bred, then set free!!

this one is sweet, it conveys the power of imagination in times of isolation

This is incredible. I feel this is how the elderly are seen and treated. Just keep giving them more and more pills!!! !!

I had a teacher who would shout at me "WALK WITH YOUR BACK STRAIGHT" every time I arrived at school, in front of everyone. I was a shy, skinny kid and we were forced to carry a bag full of books from and back to school almost everyday because every teacher had homework for us. One day I became so enraged, I screamed back at him: "DO YOU WANT TO HOLD MY BAG, SEE HOW MUCH IT WEIGHTS? MAYBE YOU CAN CARRY IT FOR ME!" Not only did I not get scolded, he did not bother me anymore. We had so much homework and zero free time after class, and all the weight they put on our backs… It's not healthy for the kids. This illustration is so accurate, sure brought back memories :)

The homeless are invisible............

Loss of freedom to express....again true and sad. Must be diligent to protect our freedoms!

#thoughtsandprayers

24/7 whether men or self righteous women want to believe it or not!!!!

This is sad, because one day, this will Be True. Children will not know what real animals look like!!!

The starving artist.

Not trying to be controversial but sometimes we need those little outs to be able to survive. Yes, it's important to know the state of our world, but you also need the little things to make you happy. If we constantly focus on the negative and the horrible things, depression will start kicking in. It's the sanity in the insane.

Yup, the drive to survive in this world. Sad.

Sick sense of humor here! Pretty good!

i like this one, the power of imagintion

uffffff............ f**k,.............. so accurate :(

Hopefully, the Earth will destroy us before we destroy it!! !!

Time to upgrade those flip phones.

the importance of hope

that's reality...

working class woke up earlier than the sun for money

No humans allowed!!! Good idea!!!

Sometimes the people you trust the most are the best at being predators...evil in disguise! Can be clergy...can be boy scout leader. Can even be your friend!

Mailman? LOL

When you already know you're a piece of s**t and you're okay with it.

playing war is far different than being in the middle of a war.

This happens, all too often. Here, the Black man is trying to cover up graffiti, and it’s immediately assumed he’s doing something wrong!

Yeah. I feel this.

his body is limited but his mind is endless.

The world is not just black and white. This needs to change

I don't think the point of this illustration is that he's "wasting" his job time on art, or that art is not needed..... but that there are so many talented people who cannot pay for proper education that can boost their talent, and their needs are so many that they have to just put their talent aside and "get a job to pay the rent".

Test dummy child? Maybe the couple's first child to raise.

Welcome to France!!!

Value

Click bait :o

getting squashed by the big man

The cd is going extinct as well. Just a flash drive is all you need..

There's no need for that, actually. Both can totally coexist in peace

This is why I don’t like to eat out!!!

Ads are too sexualized these days

Take me anywhere that's better and happier than this place

I feel like those tats should be red and green.
