He used contrast by how the sign that is around his neck is red, which is bold. It Makes a very sharp sharp contrast because the rest of the painting is black and whtie which makes the red pop out at you.

Also for his message, he is trying to I think say that people don't care about our world and how we live.

Also I think he is trying to say is that there is nothing that's makes people tHink and look surprised.

The contrast is shown by having the words painted in bright red when everything else is blck and white, just I can't tell what the message is and hat it's saying

He uses both strong and soft contrast. He uses a soft contrast between the man and the background but he makes his message a bright red and it is a very strong contrast from the rest of the piece.

I believe that Bansky used strong contrast on the sign by using red against white which makes it stand out greatly. I think that Bansky was trying to say through this graffiti art that people don't really care about others.

The multitude of greys in the background makes a soft contrast and the red on the sign makes a sharp contrast. What I think he is saying is that, that man (who I'm assuming is a political figure of the sorts) does everything he does for himself only and doesn't care about anyone else.

Bansky used contrast because of the back wall. the wall is two different shades. therefore it is a soft contrast. the message is that the man is done with society because it is going downhill.
