A subversive and secretive street artist, Banksy has set the world ablaze with his enthralling yet topical graffiti!
In Follow Your Dreams [Cancelled], an exhausted, working-class painter stands beside the painted words “Follow Your Dreams”, only to have his empowering message invalidated by a bold “CANCELLED” stamp sprawled across it. The work is a powerful commentary on class stratification in a historically low-income neighbourhood of Boston. It is a harsh reminder that the “American Dream” does not always apply.
