Product Information

Banksy is one of the world’s most renowned artists. Born in Bristol, UK, in 1974, he has become a household name by creating beautiful and truly thought-provoking art – which is seems to appear in public overnight. Banksy began his career as a graffiti artist and was part of a gang named DryBreadZ Crew. Although he began creating art freehand, he began using stencils in the late ‘90s and his work became widely recognised in the South West of England. In 2005, after many years of local media attention, Banksy’s work on the West Bank barrier, between Israel and Palestine, received significant media coverage by the world’s press. Young people are up to all sorts of mischief, and so when the police introduced a “stop and search” policy to search young people, Banksy jumped in and criticized the move. Balloons signify happiness- and Banksy makes that very clear by making it the only aspect of the image that has color. Balloons often remind us of happy occasions and celebrations. When inflated, balloons only go up- but after a short amount of time they deflate and go down- an unavoidable occurrence. This mimics the behavior of a child’s imagination. A mind that pushes beyond limits, but then eventually hits a point of adulthood and loss of that innocence.

The original Kids on Guns was first released in 2003 in spray paint and acrylic. It seems to suggest the power and value of love and the purity of childhood innocence in a world of darkness – unity over the discord of war. Painted on a wall in Israel’s West Bank in 2005, this is one of Banksy’s most well-known and most political messages.Another work in which Banksy uses the motif of the heart-shaped balloon against a scene of despair is featured in this print, the powerful Kids on Gun Hill, which shows a girl, and a boy with a teddy bear, holding hands atop a hill of weapons as the balloon rises up between them. In July 2017, a Samsung poll of 2,000 people from the UK asked participants about their favourite British piece of art. The poll's results ranked Banksy's Girl with Balloon as number one. Banksy's iconic stencil was chosen over works by Constable, JMW Turner, Thomas Gainsborough and John Everett Millais, as well as Antony Gormley's sculpture The Angel of the North, Anish Kapoor's ArcelorMittal Orbit and album covers for the Beatles, Pink Floyd and the Sex Pistols. Just one week after this work was discovered on a private residence, it was painted over by the building’s owner. The words suggest that there is no future for the child, whereas the balloon on the O of no suggests happiness and joy for children. One of Banksy's most consistent messages is the idea that we should question authority and challenge the status quo. He frequently uses his art to critique government policies, social norms, and cultural values, often taking aim at the powerful and privileged.

Bristol in the 1980s and 1990s was known for its vibrant and subversive street art scene, with many young artists experimenting with different forms of graffiti and urban art. Banksy was reportedly active in this scene from a young age, honing his skills and developing his unique style. However, on the other side, there is an image of a burning bin – the “snow” the child is playing with is in fact ash and dust from this fire. 6.Million Pound Banksy Art Left in Shreds Bansky is undoubtedly one of the most legendary graffiti artists, identified as a troubadour of modern times. He is a renowned and committed artist, incisive and often amazing. Today, Banksy has a place among the great pesonalities of this world, with his subversive actions.
