What is Banksy's central artistic philosophy?

Answered in Banksy's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

My philosophy is simple: art should be accessible and confrontational. It shouldn't be locked away in gilded cages. I believe in using public space as a canvas to engage with everyday people on issues that matter. It's about subverting expectations, exposing hypocrisy, and injecting a bit of critical commentary into the urban landscape. The power lies in the immediate impact, the unexpected encounter that makes you pause and consider.
