• Banksy uses satire, appropriation, and dark humour often with decidedly political content. While the early works were conceived as typically temporary urban street art. In the last decades he has followed artists such as Keith Haring and moved into gallery-based work.

    For our latest Viewing Room IAP Fine Art is pleased to offer the print Napalm  by Banksy from a private collection. Perhaps an image that seems doubly apt as propaganda machines ramp up in these times of war and tyranny.  This print utilises the famous  photograph The Terror of War by Nick Ut from the Vietnam war. 

     

    Taken on June 8th 1972 the photograph shows the then nine year old Phan Thi Kim Phuc fleeing with other children from a napalm attach on her village of Trang Bang. Banksy isolates her and places her between Micky Mouse and Ronald McDonald, symbols both of American multinational corporate capitalism and invasive culture.

     

    This Banksy silkscreen print is unsigned  from the edition of 500, and comes with the necessary Certificate of Authorisation from Pest Control. It has excellent provenance, since it comes to us from a collector known to our gallery for many years, and who purchased it from Art Republic in 2014.

     

    The print  is housed in the original Art Republic frame.
