  • Banksy Grannies Meaning & History

     

    "Punks Not Dead” and “Thug For Life” adorn the Gangsta Grannies' tops.

    The pop pink Grannies print by Banksy was first shown in painting format at Banksy’s renowned 2006 exhibition Barely Legal in L.A. A year later, Pictures of Walls released a signed edition of 150 an unsigned addition of 600 as well as a small hand-finished signed print edition of just 11.
    In the work we see two grandmothers who are innocently knitting on armchairs flanked by cups of tea and a lampshade suggesting a cost and warm living room. However, in archetypal Banksy fashion a twist is given to the work as, emblazoned in block-capitals across the jumpers, what they are knitting says “Punks Not Dead” and “Thug For Life”.

    The humorous work, executed in Banksy’s well-known stencil style, juxtaposes the concept of an innocent grandmother with rebellious slogans. 

    Banksy draws inspiration from music in a variety of works. Often choosing figures or movements associated with counter culture such as The Clash in I Fought The Law and the mod movement of the 60’s in Monkey Queen.Explore Banksy prints for sale.
