We are introduced to a young boy offering a simple bouquet of flowers, referencing another of Banksy's most enduring images, Flower Thrower, first seen on the West Bank and now recognised around the world as a symbol of peace overcoming conflict. The original figure can even be seen stencilled in the background behind the child, reinforcing the link between the two works. Here, however, Mr Brainwash softens the protester's gesture into one of youthful optimism, as the bouquet draws towards it a spectacular cloud of 24 brilliantly coloured butterflies. Long associated with transformation, renewal and rebirth, the butterflies become a visual metaphor for dreams taking flight, possibilities unfolding and the idea that positive change begins with simple acts of hope.
These editions are particularly special because of the remarkable craftsmanship involved in their creation. Each work is a hand-pulled silkscreen, produced using an elaborate, artisanal process in which every colour requires its own individual screen to be pulled by hand, layer upon layer. The result is exceptional depth, richness and texture, while the rigorous, labour-intensive nature of the process enhances both rarity
and collectability.
The timed edition will be open from Wednesday 24th June until Midnight Sunday 5th July.
