Still relevant

After recently discovering that Banksy has been around for 30+ years and a possible photograph of him not looking like a trendy teenager but an old white guy, there have been shouts to cancel him as being irrelevant. Since when does colour, age or sex have to do with relevance? I’m an old, white guy and feel I’ve become invisible in the last decade.
Banksy is and probably always will be relevant, not just for being a groundbreaking artist but for being a humanitarian with humour and compassion.
This piece is a homage to the great man as he is today. His work mixed with my work.
It’s perfect for any Banksy fan or anyone who wants a classic piece of art as a talking piece.
It comes I framed and raw, ready to hang with a certificate of authenticity and a note of gratitude.

Ewen is a Tasmanian artist specialising in people and portraits.
Residing in the beautiful suburb of Bonnet Hill, just south of Hobart, surrounded by the natural world that inspires a lot of his work.
His big passion is telling peoples stories through his portraits, he’s not interested in the pretty young things, more the history in the lines and scars of real people.
A lot of his work is very graphic and may only appeal to a select few but he has still managed to have his work in institutions, galleries and private residences throughout the globe.
Some of his more recent work includes commissions of politicians, including Bob Brown, an ambition satisfied as he’s a committed conservationist.
When Ewen gets some spare time he likes to paint animals, especially rabbits behaving badly, inspired by his partner in art Coolio.
As well as being a supporter of human and animal rights he’s also a passionate advocate of LGBTQIA’s rights.
