This vibrant three-volume set explores Banksy’s iconic works through
the lens of some of his most powerful symbols―rats, monkeys, and
children.
Whether he’s protesting war, challenging societal norms, or sending up
political and economic systems with his scathing critiques, Banksy’s
strategic and inventive use of symbolism is one of his most effective
tools. Now renowned Banksy scholar Alessandra Mattanza helps readers
understand and contextualize some of Banksy’s most recognized motifs.
Packed with images that span his oeuvre since the early 2000s these
volumes are filled with photographs and reproductions of some of his
most well-known works featuring rats―Let Them Eat Crack, Rat Inside a
Clock, monkeys―Laugh No and Devolved Parliament; and children―Girl with
Balloon and Girl Frisking Soldier.
His work on urban resistance is also highlighted here, including such
pieces as The Flower Thrower and The Son of a Migrant from Syria. In
her introductory essays Mattanza delves into the unique resonance of
Banksy’s work; his wit and perception; and his remarkable ability to
create enduring messages on an ephemeral canvas.
