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 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.
