Art or Just Graffiti?

Many people around the world who see his art are amazed because his paintings appear all of a sudden at unexpected places such as streets, walls and bridges. The works which he paints or draws often raise social issues in an ironical fashion. He rarely gets permission to paint his artworks, which makes some people regard his art as being no more than graffiti, and so they erase them. However, many more people highly admire his works as sophisticated art, and one of his works has sold at auction for more than 16 million pounds.
