Banksy.

This is one of Banksy's series of artworks where he has taken a piece of work by another artist (more often than not stuff he finds at charity shops or things like that) and then gives them a going over in his style. I'm not 100% sure if that's how Banksy has done this image but I have seen work before this that's done that way.

This picture works in the rule of thirds, the bottom third being the foreground and the top being the skyline. I find my eye drawn straight to the middle third to the corner of the house, it is then drawn down towards the figures down in the foreground and then to the cart at the front and works backwards from there towards the horizon. At first glance the image feels wrong, then the brain catches up and you realize that there is all the graffiti on the houses & cart, it feels wrong because we're used to very tranquil, ideal scenes of the country side.

Banksy's work like this always intrigues me because I tend to forget he's a real artist and can paint this well. This piece looks like an oil painting from the way the colours are layered up over each other & wiped away to mix the colouring.
