Description
Why invest in Banksy?
Banksy's Urban Interventions
Banksy, perhaps the most famous figure in street art working today, is known for urban interventions that demonstrate irreverent wit and biting political edge. Enhancing his mystique by maintaining an anonymous identity, the artist has modified street signs, illegally printed his own currency, and illicitly hung his own work in the Louvre and the Museum of Modern Art. He often uses spray paint and stencils in his critiques of consumerism, political authority, terrorism, and the status of art and its display. His street art, installations, and studio-produced works have been shown in Los Angeles, New York, London, Bethlehem, and beyond. His art has been subject to widespread interest on the secondary market and has fetched eight figures at auction.
Banksy declares art to be his weapon in the fight for peace and democratic freedom. He invites viewers to choose their own weapon—whether through art or other means—to effect change.
Why invest in "Choose Your Weapon" (Light Orange) ?
Disaffected Youth and Gang Culture
First appeared in life-size scale on the wall of a pub in Bermondsey, South London, in 2010. The work refers to the increase in gang violence in the UK and the adoption of dogs trained to aggressively attack. Portraying man’s best friend acting as his weapon, the image is a commentary on the disaffected youth of modern Britain.
The Naïve Dog
The dog’s naive style emphasizes detachment from the reality of its weapon-like abilities. Banksy’s barking dog pays homage to Keith Haring’s iconic dog motif from the 1980s. Haring’s colorful canines symbolized authoritarian governments and abuses of power.
Hooded Figure
An aloof, hooded figure stands casually with one hand in their pocket. The figure’s menacing appearance contrasts with their nonchalant posture. The figure tightly grips the leash of a big, barking cartoon dog.
