    Banksy Banksquiat

    Banksy’s Banksquiat (2019) was released as part of the satirical Gross Domestic Product pop-up project in Croydon, an installation created to critique the commercialisation of contemporary art. The print was issued in signed editions of 300 in both black and grey variations. Inspired by the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat, the composition pays tribute to the pioneering New York graffiti artist while simultaneously questioning the commodification of his legacy. Through humour, appropriation, and layered cultural references, Banksy examines the relationship between street art, celebrity, and capitalism, while positioning himself within the broader history of contemporary urban art and visual culture.

  • About Banksy's Banksquiat

    In Banksquiat, Banksy reinterprets Jean-Michel Basquiat’s iconic crown motif by transforming it into the carriages of a ferris wheel situated within a suburban British setting. Gathered beneath the structure are groups of onlookers, observing the spectacle as though participating in a commercial attraction. The crown, a recurring symbol throughout Basquiat’s work, has been interpreted as representing artistic ambition, black empowerment, and references to figures such as Andy Warhol. By repurposing this symbol, Banksy explores how influential artistic imagery becomes absorbed into cycles of consumerism and cultural branding. The work also references the visual language of graffiti and street art, with its dark background and chalk-like marks recalling the subway drawings of Keith Haring. Through satire and homage, Banksy reflects on the commodification of rebellion and the transformation of countercultural symbols into marketable icons.
