Look, whether or not he wanted to be the artist of the 2010s
He is. And he should be trying a lot fucking harder. Maybe by doing something original. Or interesting.

Original? Who set up a deliberately crappy British seaside fun park first?
But seriously, I really wouldn't describe him as an artist in the same way you would Bacon or Picasso. He's a b3ta user posting outdoors.

A painting of a merry go round isn't an interactive, cheeky comment on modern theme parks

His 2D theme park
Says more than Banksy has ever said or ever will. That's a truly great painting right there.
And if he hates being the darling of the world art establishment, as you suspect, why doesn't he hang up his fucking stencil.

Why should he quit a well paying job making vaguely funny pictures and stuff?
There are worse cartoonists out there

Cartoonists don't have pretensions.
They're good at what they do and rightly proud of it. Banksy - I'm sorry to spoil your illusions about what a good bloke he is - thinks, or has been convinced, that he's fucking Hogarth. When in fact he's got less talent than a gluer-sniffer and his CDC.
