Steve Lazarides – St. Werburgh

Description

Steve Lazarides, Banksy’s former manager from 2002 to 2008, continues to unveil the enigmatic world of Banksy with ‘St. Werburgh’. This striking photograph captures Banksy standing with a sprayed wooden plank concealing his identity, emphasising the artist’s elusive nature. Taken during a moment of creative spontaneity, and at a place where the two would hang out. Lazarides, who managed Banksy from 1997 to 2008, documents these fleeting instances with his expansive collection of over 12,000 photographs, offering a rare glimpse into the clandestine artistry of one of the most transformative figures in contemporary culture. This piece further cements Lazarides’ role as an essential chronicler of street art history.
