2009 Banksy V Bristol Museum Poster, David statue by Michelangelo, vest and bandana, Pop Art gallery exhibition, wall art decor

This exhibition poster is from the Bristol Museum for an exhibition in 2009 which features Banksy's pop art graffiti work, "David" from 2009.
It shows Banksy’s “David” as a modern interpretation of Michelangelo’s masterpiece of Italian Renaissance sculpture, which was created between 1501 and 1504 and uniquely depicts David before his battle with Goliath. Banksy’s sculpture takes this and adds a contemporary twist. Banksy created a powerful commentary on the current state of political affairs and the need to stand up against oppression.
Dimensions: 23.5 in x 16.5 in (60 cm x 42 cm)
Condition: small tear on top edge, see photos.

Banksy is a pseudonymous England-based street artist, political activist, and film director whose real name and identity remain unconfirmed and the subject of speculation. Active since the 1990s, his satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique. His works of political and social commentary have appeared on streets, walls, and bridges throughout the world. His work grew out of the Bristol underground scene, which involved collaborations between artists and musicians. Banksy says that he was inspired by 3D, a graffiti artist and founding member of the musical group Massive Attack.

What is special about exhibition and gallery posters is that they are an affordable way of getting good, unique art on the walls, as although it is not an artists original, neither is it something that has been mass reproduced.

Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm.

These posters are sent as unframed. They are delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
