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 activist art?
Activist Art is a form of art created to address social and political issues. It often involves public engagement and works closely with communities to raise awareness or inspire change. While it can include elements of performance art, it is not limited to this form. Examples include creating and distributing social protest posters or organizing community-based art projects that highlight specific causes.
