Saw it for the first time this morning at The NY Times in an article about a show at the Whitney Museum that explores the profound impact of Mexican painters that enriched American culture. I find it bold and brilliant.

I'm not sure I can say this is my favorite, but I can say I'm going out of my way to catch this artists works in the coming week!

Banksy Graffiti
 
I like Banksy works of art which challenge social norms and how he brings attention to subjects which media tends to not privilege as important social changes not being challenged publicly.

Here is a couple I absolutely like (the Balloon, and the Robot)
