Severnshed, Bristol. February 2000

After moving to London in late 1999, Banksy returned to Bristol in February 2000 to open his first regular indoor exhibition at the restaurant Severnshed on The Grove, right behind the docks. Nowadays, the restaurant has changed its name to the Harbour House. The show was a mixture of stencils and acrylic on canvas. There were several remarkable pieces: Simple Intelligence Testing,  Sharks, and You Told That Joke Twice.
