Port Talbot: How Banksy sparked a steel town’s love for colour


Hasan Kamil grew up in Swansea with a passion for creating graffiti art.

After spending five years working as a graphic designer he now lives in Bristol, and works creating large-scale murals and bespoke lettering.

When he is outside painting murals people frequently stop to ask him about his work, so he said he has a good gauge about how the public feel about art popping up on buildings, walls and underpasses.

“The average perception [says] ‘I love the street art but hate the graffiti, hate the tagging’,” he said.

“But they don’t realise they coexist and graffiti was kind of there first, so I will always be a big advocate for graffiti.”

There’s another frequent comment.

“The B word – Banksy. ‘You’re not Banksy are you?’ You get that a lot.”
