Not sure we think of Banksy as being particularly subtle. Innovative and impactful, sure - but the message is usually quite clear, no?

It's always been about as subtle as a sledge hammer
He started with literally graffiti. So sure - not subtle!!
Not gonna lie, I am not sure how the choice of medium here (graffiti) has anything to do with how subtle (or not) the message of an art piece is.

Our first exposure to Banksy was when we were hitting puberty. We probably thought they were subtle back then.
Not everyone on HN is still in their 20s.
Banksy has been active since the 90s, definitely already famous in the 00s
