Brilliant!
For me, most modern art is excrement. Picasso, Rothko, Matisse, etc etc -- excrement.
Some "modern art" consists of the artist's bodily excrement (literally) while other examples consist of a blank and empty wall. [The latter is called "conceptual art."]
It's all a game of the emperor's new clothes, and everyone knows it. Idiots gape at a lump of pig feces while marveling at its "genius."

Banksy is the most politically and socially relevant artist working today.
Too bad you're too dim to get it.
