Unsigned, Unnumbered printers proof // HMV Dog by Banksy is a 2004 screen-print that plays with the iconic image of a dog listening to a gramophone, originally used in advertisements for HMV (His Master’s Voice). In Banksy's version, the dog is humorously depicted holding a bazooka aimed at the gramophone, a subversive twist that critiques consumer culture and the commodification of art. The stark contrast of black and white adds to the simplicity and immediacy of the visual message, while the dark humor invites viewers to question authority and the role of media in shaping public perception.

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.
