Meaning & Analysis

In this work, Banksy employs a stark contrast between the dark-clad figure and the white dog, set against a vivid purple background. The piece is a homage to Haring, evident in the stylised dog, and reflects on themes of power and rebellion. The hooded figure’s anonymity speaks to the universal nature of urban unrest, a recurring theme in Banksy's work. This screenprint, part of a series released in various colours, demonstrates Banksy's skillful use of stencilling to convey complex social messages. By juxtaposing elements of street art with “high art”, Banksy challenges the viewer to reconsider societal norms and the role of art in public spaces.

  • Renowned British street artist, Banksy, is the enigmatic figure behind some of the most subversive works in the Urban Art scene. Despite his anonymity, the artists' disruptive stunts have not only gained him notoriety, but they have vocalised his stance on many social and political issues. As seen with the likes of Girl With Balloon and Napalm, Banksy uses his distinctive stencil technique to produce thought-provoking commentaries on challenging themes. The showcase of rebellion that lines his work has caused his secondary market value to soar in recent years, propelling him to the top of the Urban Art scene.
