Buy Banksy No Ball Games Signed & Unsigned Print

The No Ball Games motif made its debut to the world in 2006 at Banksy’s LA exhibition Barely Legal in canvas format. Fast-forward to 2009 and the artist produced the work as a stencilled spray paint mural that appeared in Tottenham on a shop wall at the junction between Tottenham High Road and Philip Lane.
Following on from the mural, Banksy released the signed green and grey editions of the work that are both numbered 250 as part of Pictures on Walls’ Christmas show, “Fiesta Resistance” No Ball Games (Green) was released directly through P.O.W’s website and the grey version was available from the physical store.

The central image of No Ball Games Green and Grey is a pair of children who appear to be playing a game of catch. Instead of throwing a ball they are throwing and playing with a red street sign labelled “No Ball Games”. The sign can be found across estates in the U.K. which firmly contextualises the piece. Is this a comment on the stifling of creativity in the youth? Or perhaps a nod towards the inventiveness of children and their bright minds? Authoritarianism and rebellion are central to this work as we see the protagonists defying orders and rebelling against the very sign they are playing with. After all, it isn’t a ball they are throwing…

Childhood, innocence and a sense of loss can be seen in multiple Banksy works. Famously Girl with Balloon, Jack and Jill and Nola all show children as vulnerable against an indifferent world. Explore other Banksy prints for sale.
