Buy Banksy Weston Super Mare Signed & Unsigned Print

The Weston-Super-Mare motif first appeared in painting format at Banksy’s critically acclaimed first solo show at the Severn shed restaurant in Bristol. Released by publishers Pictures on Walls in 2003 as a limited edition of 150 signed versions, 750 signed versions and 8 Artist Proofs - the work is unique for a Banksy print as it is in the less commonly used landscape format.
The work depicts a senior citizen sitting on a bench (often found alongside seaside promenades) with his hands neatly folded and a cane by his side. The idyllic illusion is shattered by the inclusion towards the right-hand side of the work of a circular saw approaching him at speed.
Eschewing the brighter colour palettes found in other works, Weston-Super-Mare uses more muted, neutral colours. A sense of immediacy is injected into the piece with the cartoonish circular saw that breaks the illusions created by the more realistic old age pensioner. Recalling vintage postcards sold at typical British seaside towns, the work brings death and destruction into the most quotidian of contexts.
