Banksy

Few contemporary artists arouse as much curiosity as Banksy: the British street artist, who has become a global celebrity, has elevated the use of stencils and spray paint into a social and political statement that transcends the art world. His works appear unexpectedly in various locations around the world, drawing attention to the suffering and injustices typically faced by the most vulnerable and overlooked—whether it be the devastated cities of Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle East, the abuse of power by global corporations, or the plight of child refugees in Europe. Moreover, Banksy is highly skilled at navigating the attention of the media and social media, as evidenced by the fact that his identity remains unknown to this day, even though almost everyone has seen his graffiti at some point.

This deluxe box set features three books showcasing Banksy’s most famous works, organized according to his favorite themes: rats and monkeys as symbols of our world; children as the most vulnerable members of our community; and the marginalized inhabitants of the urban jungle. In addition to high-quality reproductions, the books include an introductory essay that places his work within the broader context of our times. Banksy may not speak to everyone, but one thing is certain: his message cannot be ignored.
