Jeff Koons vs Banksy
By Julio Horta
In the art environment, some paths are drawn from opposite approaches. Jeff Koons (Pennsylvania, 1955) and Banksy (Yate, Gloucestershire, 1974) are two referents of contemporary art, each with different and defined work processes: for the first one, art is a consequence of the market, closely linked with the forms of advertising and with the dynamics of consumption. For the second one, aesthetic expression aims to criticize the political and institutional forms of society.
