Meaning & Analysis

Nola, or as it’s often called “Rain Girl”, first appeared as a piece of graffiti in 2008 on a wall in New Orleans. It is likely a reference to hurricane Katrina that left the city in devastation not long before. Rendered in Banksy’s classic graffiti-spray-stencil style, it shows a young girl in a dress in black and white, beneath a black umbrella, holding her other hand out and feeling the rain that is pouring down. The background is a block grey as white rain falls from the umbrella. The image evokes a kind of heart-warming innocence that strikes as especially powerful when reflecting on such a traumatic catastrophe. Banksy uses the same motif of the little girl in other impactful artworks such as Girl With Balloon.

In an interview, Banksy said that piece of wall art represents how some of the things that are supposed to protect us, can also harm us. Nola was released in a number of different colours.

  • 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.
