Signed, dated and numbered - Screenprint on paper // Christ With Shopping Bags by Banksy, a limited edition screen print from 2004, offers a powerful critique of consumerism through a provocative image. The artwork depicts Jesus on the cross, yet instead of the traditional imagery of suffering, he is shown carrying shopping bags filled with brightly wrapped presents. The contrasting pink ribbons and gift packages emphasize the commercialization of sacred symbols, questioning the values of modern society and the relentless pursuit of material goods, especially during the holiday season. The drips of black paint suggest decay or corruption, amplifying the satire. This signed and numbered screen print is a stark commentary on the intersection of capitalism and spirituality.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
