Welcome to the world's first 'bemusement' park - Dismaland
Graffiti artist Banksy, who is known for his dark humour and satirical street art has come up with yet another offering. This time it is a pop-up art exhibition in the form of an apocalyptic theme park called 'Dismaland' in the UK. It also features- This wall graffiti of a showering woman being secretly watched by little boys points to our increasingly voyeuristic mainstream culture and the loss of childhood innocence.
- This art installation of a woman being attacked by seagulls begs you to think about how sometimes innocent bystanders can fall victim to a cruel twist of karma.
- This carousel dream might turn out to be more of a nightmare with the bloodied butcher here.
- An artist's impression of the global food crisis and huge income disparities across countries.
- A police van stuck in a swamp maybe an artistic comment on how law enforcement agencies fail to do their duties because of bureaucratic hurdles.
- Persecuted refugees or opportunist migrants? This art piece reflects the dark and grim reality of the current refugee crisis in Europe.
- Looks like this mother-son duo's pleasant day by the seaside plans might be crashed by a huge tidal wave.
- Banksy has warned that Dismaland is a "family theme park unsuitable for children". Well, the model horse pictured above is certainly not the cute unicorn many children would love to sit on.
- Known for incorporating juxtapositions in his artworks, Bansky likes to celebrate the bizarre. This art installation of a killer whale jumping out of a loo is one such example.
- Dubbed by Banksy as the world's first 'bemusement park', Dismaland looks like a grim version of the happy and bright Disneyland. Over here even Disney's pretty Little Mermaid Ariel looks contorted in a disturbing way.
