Banksy’s Artworks
By- Aryan, Atharva and Zane
Introduction to Banksy
● Banksy (Born in 1974, Bristol,England)is a pseudonymous street
artist known for his bold, distinctive graffiti work.
● His artwork includes elements of surrealism along with a heavy use
of irony, cleverness, wit and archness.
● His artwork mainly focuses on a single key idea.
● Banksy's artwork are simplistic yet effective, reducing complex
abstractions to something palatable.
BHARUCHA Zane Grade 11IBS1 English A Language and Literature 04 Due Date: 22Mar22 09:20
● Painted in 2004, this artwork depicts the effect of
Napalm #1 Napalm on people during the Vietnam War.
● Banksy's decision to place this girl beside
well-known children's figures is a message aimed at
highlighting our materialism and greed, which keeps
the American people unaware of the foreign policies
that influenced these images.
● The image also demonstrates how a purposefully
created culture of entertainment and commerce can
pacify a society.
Techniques used:
Colour contrast: The girl is depicted in a black and white
colour scheme emphasizing on the horror. Whereas, the
commercial icons are depicted in colour.
Symbolism: American culture represented as iconic
children’s figures.
● Co
●
Devolved Parliament#2 ● Painted in 2009, the piece is banksy’s largest

artwork yet. The painting is painted over a
14-feet-long canvas
● Here, chimpanzees replace politicians in the
house of commons
● By anthropomorphising politicians as apes, some
believe Banksy aims to show the chaos witnessed
during parliament
● The chimpanzees are however sitting neatly in
rows with no indication of wild behaviour. By
considering the most minute details of the room,
painting the windows in parliament black, and
lighting in the center, Banksy intends to show the
gravity of the situation
● Many believe the painting has relevant links to
modern-day politics, such as the chaos witnessed
in parliament during brexit
● The painting also makes use of
three-point-perspective to further demonstrate
the gravity of the situation

Global issue
How does Banksy use Irony and Sarcasm to protest

against the government?
“Let them eat crack”
Banksy tends to take a satirical view on society’s problems - his artwork of a rat
saying “Let them eat crack” is a link to Marie Antoinette of the French monarchy
during the revolution when she says “Let them eat cake”, with the “them” being the
peasants and middle class. “Crack” here is a reference to crack cocaine, and
Banksy attempts to connect crack to food, and the rat to be of an important status.
Is an anti-drug statement that brings to light the ridiculous availability of drugs as a
result of capitalism
The conversation probably
The peasants: Your

highness, the peasant have
no bread
Marie: lol, let them eat cake

● 2004

A bit about the Art

First appeared in 2003 outside the house of
parliament during the anti-war protest. At the
time the UK’s involvement in the Iraq war had
been brought to light, and the fact that millions
of people, including soldiers, protested against
the invasion was reportedly ignored.
Techniques
Depicts two soldiers, crouching on the ground and scouting
the landscape around them. One is holding a machine gun,
the other a paintbrush with which he is in the process of
painting a red peace sign. This sign originally symbolized
the British Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) of
1957 and is now widely known as an international symbol of
peace. The satirical juxtaposition of armed soldiers
alongside the iconic peace sign questions the role and
impact of military in keeping the peace. The peace sign,
painted in dripping red evokes the bloodshed of war. The
soldiers, who act on behalf of the government, are now
represented as activists and vandals, graffitiing the wall in
protest.

How visual techniques can express a message equally if not better than written
words.
M: Artwork 1 Girl with a balloon
Techniques:
-black and white, with little detail,.
-heart shaped balloon pops brightly, signifying hope,
- creates a metaphor than can resonate with almost anyone who is struggling or has struggled.
-everything appears to be black and white, there is always a glimmer of hope pushing you through.
Possibly linking to the fact that children have a sense of excitement that often fades with time, but here Banksy reminds everyone
to hold onto that innocence that can often lead to imagination.

Brief look into who Banksy is and what his artworks mean:
History:
Banksy, a street artist whose true identity is unknown, is said to have been born about 1974 in Bristol, England. In the
late 1990s, he became known for his controversial stenciled works.
Banksy began his career as a graffiti artist with Bristol's DryBreadZ Crew in the early 1990s. Banksy utilized stencils on
occasionally, despite the fact that his early work was mostly freehand. He began mostly employing stencils in the late
1990s. As his unique style developed, his work became more well-known in Bristol and London.
What Is Banksy Known for?

Banksy's especially known for its startling pictures, which are sometimes mixed with phrases. His work frequently
addresses political issues, satirizing war, capitalism, hypocrisy, and greed. Rats, monkeys, cops, members of the royal
family, and youngsters are all common topics. Banksy is recognized for his installation art in addition to his
two-dimensional work. One of the most well-known of these works, a real elephant painted in a Victorian wallpaper
design, aroused outrage among animal rights groups.
Artwork 1 Analysis: Boy with Machine Gun
This artwork shows a young child holding a machine gun,

whose bullets appear to be crayons. Around him are
“chalk” drawings of flowers that are supposed to imitate
drawings done by children.
The boy is done in a high-contrast monotone style, akin to

chiaroscuro in art. This juxtaposes the brightly colored
crayons and flowers so both elements stand out. His face
looks uncertain and afraid to hold the gun.
There is a large juxtaposition between the bright color

next to him and his dull figure, in a way showing what a
child should be doing (having fun, drawing fun images,
etc) against what the child is doing (fighting with guns).
This best follows “Beliefs, Values, and Education” as it

shows how the child’s values have been corrupted as
they are now being forced to fight in a war.
Artwork 2 Analysis: The Whip
This artwork shows a man wearing a construction hat

and suit holding a jagged arrow, using it as a whip. This
arrow represents stock prices, continuously growing
higher and higher.
He is chasing after a group of people on barren land, of

various ages. 3 of these are kids, 2 of them are a mother
and her baby, 2 of them are construction workers, and
one is an old man with his dog. These are all
stereotypically “weaker” individuals and the man is
pushing them out of the land.
This artwork best follows Politics, Power, and Justice as it

shows the difference in power between the two parties
here. The man has power over them and he seems to be
abusing it to get his way.

Banksy Work Analysis

By: Rhea M. and Rhea
1. Let them eat crack
This art is based in Soho, New York

● The rat represents street artists;
Banksy believes that street artists
stay hidden and only come out in
the dark, as do rats as well as
remaining extremely alert like rats
do as what they are doing is illegal.
(Symbolism)
● Banksy derived this phrase
supposedly form a famous one: “
Let them eat Cake”, crack was
replaced with cake in order to
address the problem of drug use
(Dominant text)
● The use of crack is very common in
poor; low income areas in the
United states especially by
unemployed people. It is the
cheapest drug sold.
Link to global issue - Politics, power and justice
The overall message is of inequality between classes; Banksy as an individual and

artist is appalled by the idea of capitalism. He tries to convey that drugs are easily
accessible and heavily used by those whom are not highly paid; or have a good
quality of life. Especially seen during the Wall street financial crisis in 2008 and
how banks/businessmen lead to this crisis that impacted the whole city.
Politics power and justice - It shows how power is distributed based off of income
and wealth in capitalist society portrayed by the businessman in the painting. Many
wealthy investors were making money during the recession.
MALHOTRA Rhea Grade 11 One nation under CCTV
● Banksy is trying to provide

emphasis on what he believes
is unethical, the government
restricting privacy and taking
advantage of their power to
closely monitor citizens. This
artwork was later taken down by
the city council in London.
● Irony - The piece was made
right behind a surveillance
camera. A little boy whom is
painting the words, is being
watched by a policeman and a
dog as CCTV does.
● Textography - Large, bold text
to attract attention from the
community.
Links to global issue - Politics, power and justice
- As mentioned, the art is conveying a message about how

governments are monitoring our very move closely. It goes to
show how they are taking advantage of their authority position
as well as restricting citizens from their freedom. The irony is
used to depict the reality - that CCTV is all around us and aims
to show the significance of the issue to the community.
Thank you!!!!

Banksy
● Banksy is a British street and graffiti artist

● His paintings are often about politics, war and other important topics
● Banksy began his career as a freehand graffiti artist in the 90s as part of the
city’s DryBreadZ Crew
● He moved to working with stencils after realising that it would be a quicker
way to create his images, ensuring he wouldn’t get caught by the police.
Global Issue
How does Banksy convey anti-consumerism sentiments through his works?

Show me the
Monet
This work by Banksy re-figures
the iconic Impressionist painting
Bridge Over a Pond of Waterlilies
(1899) by Claude Monet. Monet's
original reveals a tranquil scene
of his own garden, with rich
vegetation reflected in the calm
water. Banksy has replicated
Monet's original painting almost
exactly, using the same materials
as Monet, however Banksy has
added two discarded shopping
carts and a traffic cone to the
pond.
Analysis
● It presents a dialogue on the impact of the corporate world on our environment and the sacrifices
made at the expense of so-called ‘human progress’.
● By using shopping carts, an image associated with consumerism, Banksy’s message is that society is
focused on material goods, buying more than is necessary in a futile attempt to make itself feel
happy and fulfill.
● representing these man-made objects as discarded in an otherwise beautiful setting, he critiques
contemporary society's disregard for nature in favor of commodity fetishism and the production of
excessive waste.
● In the title Banksy has subverted the meaning of the Impressionist painting, with the word "money"
being a play on "Monet"
Napalm
Napalm, also known as Can’t
Beat That Feeling, is a
powerful print that reinvents
the famous photograph The
Terror of War, taken on 8 June
1972 by photographer Nick Ut
during the Vietnam conflict.
Upon publication the original
photograph shook audiences
worldwide to the core with its
shocking portrayal of
Vietnamese children fleeing
from a napalm blast that had
just hit their home in Trang
Bang village
Analysis
● It has a universal audience and the it is composed of the girl being black and white and the only
source of color of McDonald and Mickey Mouse in yellow. The yellow could also allude to napalm
itself.
● Banksy depicts Mickey Mouse and Ronald McDonald holding the hands of a terrified, naked girl
which makes a statement that aims to highlight consumerism and greed that keeps the American
people oblivious of the foreign policies that made these pictures possible.
● Alludes to the American nation being blinded by possessions and material greed to the more
pressing concerns such as the foreign policies and war conduct.
● The image stresses the commercialisation of war itself, how the military has become a multi-billion
dollar industry with powerful corporate lobbies.

By Mihika and Ashwath
Intro to Banksy
Banksy is an England Based street artist artist whose identity remains

anonymous to this day.
He specializes in anti-authoritarian art that often challenges public

institutions, most commonly done in graffiti form in public places.
His most well known artworks include Balloon Girl, Napalm, Dismaland
and Love is in the air (flower thrower)
Artwork #1
- “Follow your dreams: Cancelled” was an artwork

created by Banksy in 2010
- Placed in the low income area of Chinatown,
Boston, USA
- Shows a lower-middle class man with qn
unsatisfied expression as a result of him being
forced to adhere to a conventional labour job
rather than one he truly enjoys
- Intention is to emphasize on the severity of the
political and economic environment and how it
marginalizes low-income workers and sets
unrealistic standards of “the american dream”
Artwork #1 - Techniques
- Typography
- Block capital tellers (Similar to ones in government documents) to write the
word cancelled- Emphasize on how unrealistic the achievement of being
able to follow your dream is
- Follow your dreams written in messy, weary handwriting to suggest the
likelihood of this naive idea
- Colour Psychology
- Cancelled written in red, symbolizing the anger and aggression held by
low-income Americans who condemn the false promises pushed forward by
the American dream
Artwork #1 - Techniques
- Imperative verb
- The word follow is an imperative verb and encourages and strongly urges
everyone to follow their dreams. Shows how this idea was popularized and
pushed forward before people realized it was unrealistic, shown by the word
Cancelled.
-
- Symbolism
- The paintbrush represents the low income workers desire of following his
dreams, possibly of becoming a painter, however, after paining over the
word follow your dreams sign with the word cancelled after coming to the
realization that it was impossible for him to do so.
Artwork #1: Global Issue Connection
- Beliefs, Values and Education
The belief of following your dreams is a naive idea pushed forward by

governments to create unrealistic ideal standards to manipulate American
citizens, going against basic moral values. Also suggests how levels of
education play an impact on the possibility of being able to find a job that you
actually enjoy versus being forced to something for the sake of earning a living.
Artwork #2
- “Very Little ”Helps: 2008

- Theme is people who worship
consumerism and have more respect and
appreciation for shopping than their
nation itself
- Banksy has depicted the theme of the
work by using a Tesco bag on a flagpole
in place of the flag and having people
standing at attention while it is being
raised
Artwork #2: Techniques
- Tops of Children and phases illuminated:

to emphasize reverence and respect for
an awe inspiring plastic bag
- Lower halves darkened, recurrent theme
in banksy work
- Asymmetrical with more people standing
on the left
- Symbolism: Tesco bag for consumerism
- Child raising flag: we hold it in such high
regard
Artwork 2: Global Issue Connection
- Beliefs, Values and Education
Society today no longer believes in age old values of national duty, but instead
reveres increasing consumerism and commercialisation of society, which can
have manifold negative impacts.
Ie. Environmental and societal

How does Banksy use Irony and Sarcasm to protest

against the government?
“Let them eat crack”
Banksy tends to take a satirical view on society’s problems - his artwork of a rat
saying “Let them eat crack” is a link to Marie Antoinette of the French monarchy
during the revolution when she says “Let them eat cake”, with the “them” being the
peasants and middle class. “Crack” here is a reference to crack cocaine, and
Banksy attempts to connect crack to food, and the rat to be of an important status.
Is an anti-drug statement that brings to light the ridiculous availability of drugs as a

humans and the environment.
Artwork 1 Girl with a balloon

Techniques:
-black and white, with little detail,.
-heart shaped balloon pops brightly, signifying hope,
- creates a metaphor than can resonate with almost anyone who is struggling or has struggled.
-everything appears to be black and white, there is always a glimmer of hope pushing you through.
Possibly linking to the fact that children have a sense of excitement that often fades with time, but here
Banksy reminds everyone to hold onto that innocence that can often lead to imagination.

Banksy’s Texts
About Banksy
Banksy is an anonymous graffiti artist who is considered to be from Bristol,
England due to his original artwork being from there. His work highlights several
polarizing political views in simplistic, understandable artworks around the world.
Presents people with puzzles that must be solved in order to get a glimpse into his
own puerile thoughts.Appeals to the youth by the use of broad and direct
statements, as well as visual puns.
Global Issue
How the innocence of children is corrupted by war
During war, children end up having to learn about weapons and how to use them
in order to survive. Due to this, their innocence is ruined as they’re likely to view
the world with a bleaker perspective.
Bomb hugger
The use of juxtaposition is evident in this artwork. The

innocent girl is “hugging” the bomb lovingly, as if it just
another toy, symbolizing how she is unaware about the
gruesome consequences the bomb could have on her life. he
purpose of this poster is to symbolise the horrors of the war
juxtaposed with the innocence of the young girl.
This links to the global issue as the girl’s emotions are being
conditioned and corrupted by the situation of war to love
warfare and as she will soon realise how the bomb has
impacted her, she will be stripped off her innocence.
Child soldier
This poster shows a child dressed up as a soldier while holding a large machine
gun, highlighting how the innocence of children is being corrupted with weapons.
The use of colour portrays the difference in the child’s soul due to the direct
effect of the war.
When looking at the bright colours of the flowers and sun in comparison to the
black-and-white image of the child and the gun, it shows how the child should
have an optimistic outlook on life and full of happiness in comparison to the
darkness due to the enduring horrors of the war. Another technique is the larger
proportion of the gun’s size in comparison to the child. It represents how the child
is not old enough to handle such a gun and symbolizes how the child is too
innocent to be handling warfare in general.
This artwork links to the global issue as the child’s innocent view on life,
highlighted by the use of “drawings” of flowers and the sun, is being heavily
outweighed by the sheer magnitude of warfare, which is represented by the size
of the gun.

Banksy?
An excellent question
Introduction
Banksy is an anonymous graphic artist, known for his

impactful and distinctive art style, utilising irony and with a
strong sense of political activism.
Napalm
Symbolism
● Ronald McDonald and Mickey mouse represent

America and happiness, childhood and nostalgia.
● The “Napalm Girl” is symbolic of the war and its

traumatic impact on civilians.
Contrast
Contrast against the “American Dream”, the idyllic
American peace and the trauma caused..
Cartoon and realistic elements merged together to create

a single artwork
Girl is screaming whereas the two other elements are

grinning. This makes the artwork look more eerie. .
Civilian Drone Strike

Realism & Cartoon/ Contrast
- Cartoon: 2D child’s drawing

- Planes: 3D & Realistic
Colour
- Only the fire: more real, serious; stands out, draws the audience’s eye
Symbolism
- Child’s drawing: innocence → family (like a painting hung up in the family living room)
-
- Planes: violence & war
- War destroys childhood, innocence, homes
The child draws this drawing because they are aware and used to this type of imagery, instead
of drawing castles, family pictures etc. The child is alone with their pet, maybe significant
because they are now parentless?
Line of Inquiry: Politics, Power and Justice
Loss of Innocence as a
result of war.
