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.
