Buy Banksy Donuts Strawberry & Chocolate Print

Unlike many other works by Banksy, Donuts has only appeared for commercial sale and not as a street piece. First appearing as a canvas in 2009 in pink, two print releases were created as a version in brown known as Donuts (Chocolate) and a pink sister print known as Donuts (Strawberry). Both editions appeared as part of a series of 299 signed prints in each colourway - the number being a reference to Krispy Kreme Doughnuts’ financial troubles in 2007, when it closed 299 stores.
Donuts shows a food van, much like that used in street food markets across the world, with a giant, oversized donut on top. Escorting the precious cargo is a motorcade of smartly dressed American police officers looking dour and serious.
The work is loaded with meaning and humour. The association of the American police and donuts is satirical and the artwork calls into question the motives and value of the police themselves through their protection of the sweet treat. Protect and serve me another donut, maybe? Likewise, the farcical  nature of the composition also makes one wonder about how resources and time are used by the police and the self-serving nature of those in power.

Representing authority, the police are a motif that appear in numerous Banksy works including Flying Copper and Have a Nice Day. Through the use of the motif, Banksy questions the power structures that hold society in place as well as their fairness and legitimacy. Explore Banksy prints for sale.
