Description:
Stencil-style canvas artwork inspired by Banksy’s iconic “Love is in the Air” (Flower Thrower) image, depicting a masked protester preparing to throw a bouquet of flowers. The figure is surrounded by a circle of red stars, referencing European iconography. The canvas bears the Banksy-style stencil signature at the top.
The reverse includes handwritten text reading “Enjoy your FREE ART!”, along with a stylized Banksy signature, the phrase “is Dismal!”, and the notation “10/50,” indicating this example as number 10 in a limited group of 50. Also marked with the Dismaland logo, referencing the famous 2015 Dismaland Bemusement Park exhibition in Weston-super-Mare, England, a temporary dystopian art installation curated by Banksy and featuring works by numerous contemporary artists.
A striking street-art inspired piece connected to the cultural phenomenon of Dismaland and Banksy’s enduring imagery of protest and peace.
