Since arriving on the Bristol underground art scene in the 1990s, Banksy–whose real identity remains a mystery–has been behind some of the most audacious and witty guerilla art around the globe. Getting his start in tagged graffiti, the British artist quickly adopted his signature graphic street art style where he spray paints stencils made digitally beforehand. His recurring subjects–rats, police, and children–are often presented in ironic juxtapositions that critique political authority, consumerism, and terrorism. “All graffiti is low-level dissent, but stencils have an extra history. They’ve been used to start revolutions and to stop wars,” says Banksy, whose most famous works include paintings on Israel's West Bank barrier wall that imagine an opening to the Palestinian side, and “Rage, Flower Thrower,” a rioter stenciled in black and white whose bomb is replaced by a colorful flower bouquet.
This artwork comes from Banksy's "Walled Off Hotel" a Hotel designed by Banksy that opened and operated in the West Bank. The boutique hotel featured artworks from Banksy and local Palestinian artists. The hotel opened in 2017 but has since closed after the events of October 7th 2023. This unique artwork features a Banksy lithograph framed with hand painted concrete from the wall dividing Palestine and Israel. These works were originally only available for purchase from the hotel in Bethlehem.
