Everybody loves a ‘Banksy’. Why? It’s the visualized jokery and mockery. The comedy makes it accessible. The political meaning of the artwork is immediately obvious. It’s about the people and for the people. The laughing mirror he holds up shows us in all our ugliness but from a comical angle.

The origins of wit in art can be traced back to as early as the ancient Greek and Romans who made fun of each other in their plays and on their vases. Prehistoric men and women were most likely also guilty of making amusing cave drawings to pass the time during those long and dark ice age periods.

Imprimo partner UK Artists is a thriving online art gallery based in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, UK founded in 2010 by conceptual artist, Grace Newman.

With her experience as an artist herself, Grace understands the needs and challenges of artists selling their work online and provides unwavering support and responsiveness to all the artists on the platform.

Since its inception, the gallery has grown to represent an impressive collection of visual artists from across the United Kingdom, who have been handpicked for their exceptional work and unique styles.
