Stencil on canvas, Signed // Heavy Weaponry by Banksy is a limited edition stencil on canvas, created in 2004. The artwork presents a stark black-and-white image of an elephant carrying a large missile strapped to its back. The juxtaposition of the gentle, symbolic nature of the elephant and the harsh, aggressive missile reflects Banksy’s recurring themes of anti-war sentiment and criticism of modern militarization. The simplicity of the stencil technique contrasts with the weight of its message, highlighting the absurdity and burden of war. This signed work, one of only 25, emphasizes the artist’s satirical approach to global political issues and continues to provoke thought on the imbalance of power.

What is Street art?
Street Art is artwork created and executed in public spaces, outside of traditional art venues. It gained popularity during the 1980s graffiti art boom and has since evolved into various forms and styles. Common forms of Street Art include pop-up art, sticker art, stencil graffiti, and street installations or sculptures. Terms like guerrilla art, neo-graffiti, post-graffiti, and urban art are often used interchangeably to describe this genre, which challenges conventional ideas about where and how art should be displayed.
