Piece description from the artist
This photo is of an original Banksy stencil in SE Portland, Oregon. The painting lasted approximately 4 months until painted over.
In 2011, Banksy was nominated for an Academy Award for the documentary 'Exit Through the Gift Shop'. En route to the awards, Banksy added street art to Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
Paul Loverme was born in 1980. He was raised in the town of Casa Grande, Arizona where he spent most of his allowance on skateboards, trading cards, video games, and comic books. In his early teens, Paul's parents added a home computer to their household, which captured his interest and spare time. The advent of the Internet – and subsequently Adobe Photoshop – opened a whole new avenue for Paul to explore his artistic talents. An introductory class in black and white photography in high school resulted in a passion for photography and ultimately digital photography.
From the artist: "My images are true. I have no primary subject matter. Simplicity is my aim. Inspiration comes from everything. People, nature, animals, spirit, science, commercials and tablature. I have chosen to pursue a career as an artist simply to live my life doing what I love most. After all, if one truly enjoys their work, is it really work?”
