Spray-paint in colors on canvas - Dated and numbered in black marker on the reverse // Banksy’s Precision Bombing, created in 2000, is a powerful piece of street art rendered using spray paint on canvas. The composition shows a group of silhouetted figures, including suited men and a car, walking in a seemingly ordinary scene. However, the image is disrupted by the presence of a green crosshair targeting one of the figures and the vehicle. This stark contrast between the mundane and the violent imagery is typical of Banksy’s provocative style, making a statement about surveillance, control, and the militarization of society. The minimalist color palette and bold stenciling enhance the tension within the piece, amplifying its political message. The artwork is dated and numbered on the reverse, marking its place as a significant example of Banksy's early work.

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.
