Hand signed in pencil // Applause by Banksy is a provocative screen-print that combines black-and-white photographic realism with the artist’s signature stenciled elements and satirical commentary. In this piece, two military personnel on an aircraft carrier are preparing a jet for takeoff. One of the figures holds up a sign that reads Applause, adding a jarring element of absurdity to the otherwise serious scene of military operations. Banksy’s use of stark contrast between the somber grayscale imagery of war and the playful, ironic sign highlights the artist's critique of society's desensitization to violence and spectacle. This limited edition print is hand-signed by Banksy, reflecting his ongoing engagement with political and social issues through street art and satire.

What is site specific art?
Site-Specific Art is a form of artwork created to exist in a particular location, with the artist considering the site as an integral part of the creative process. Robert Irwin was a key figure in promoting this art form in California. Site-Specific Art emerged as a reaction against modernist objects, which were often portable, commodified, and confined to museum spaces. In contrast, Site-Specific Art is inherently tied to its location, challenging the traditional notions of art as a transportable and marketable commodity.
