There is much mystique and intrigue around the British artist&nbsp;BANKSY&nbsp;and we will discuss his life and works this evening at Nepenthe.&nbsp;
Although his identity remains a mystery,&nbsp;Banksy’s&nbsp;provocative stencils are among the most iconic images in street art.&nbsp; He first sprayed—-or “bombed”—-the walls of Bristol in England in the 1990’s and his fame soared after he moved to London in the early 2000’s.&nbsp;
