Critique: This is another Banksy piece. Banksy is probably the most known street artist now and for good reason, he's really good. I like how political Banksy is with his art. This looks like a screen capture of the infamous Rodney King beating, but instead of Rodney King, Banksy replaced it with a pinata. This is likely a reference to the discrimination towards Mexicans in the USA. I like this, it is such a pixelated photo with such a clear and colourful pinata in the spotlight. The lighting and the colours draw attention to the pinata, making it the first thing you see.
