GraffitiStreet presents Twelve Authenticated Banksy Artworks in ‘Banksy Editions: Volume I’, Chichester, England
At GraffitiStreet Gallery, we are thrilled to present a curated collection of works by the elusive artist Banksy in GraffitiStreet Gallery presents Banksy Editions: Volume I, a curated exhibition of twelve Banksy artworks, each authenticated by Pest Control.
Emerging from the British graffiti scene in the late 1990s, he has spent three decades turning walls, canvases and consumer objects into blunt commentary on capitalism, conflict, authority and social justice. Among his many thought-provoking statements, Banksy’s “Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable” serves as a powerful mantra that encapsulates his approach to art and activism. Read more about the Provocative Art of Banksy.
This collection, curated by GraffitiStreet co-founders Rosh Boroumand and Donna Haden, brings together signed and unsigned editions that trace the range of his visual language – dark humour, pop-art appropriation, and imagery built to unsettle.
Banksy Editions: Volume I at GraffitiStreet Gallery, Chichester, England
1. Banksy’s ‘Nola – Green Blue Rain’
Made in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Nola shows a young girl who discovers her umbrella is the source of the rain soaking her. It’s a pointed critique of failed flood defences and a slow recovery, wrapped in Banksy’s trademark dark humour. GraffitiStreet exhibits a rare signed Artist Proof of this edition, available for purchase. Read more about Banksy’s Nola here.

2. Banksy’s ‘Soup Can Banana/Lime/Purple’
Banksy’s ‘Soup Can’ offers a clever reinterpretation of Andy Warhol’s iconic ‘Campbell’s Soup Can’. Warhol, inspired by his daily lunch of Campbell’s Tomato Soup before he could afford to dine out, revolutionized consumer products into pop art in 1962. Initially, Campbell’s threatened legal action against Warhol for using their trademark, but fast forward to today, and that very artwork has become a cultural treasure, celebrated for its groundbreaking impact and immense value.
Four decades later, Banksy takes inspiration from Tesco Value Tomato Soup, using its stripped-down ‘No Frills’ range to critique Britain’s economic hardships. Alongside the classic blue, red, and white soup can, Banksy also released several alternative colourways, each in a rare edition of ten signed prints. GraffitiStreet is exhibiting a rare signed Banana/Lime/Purple edition.

3. Banksy’s ‘Trolleys B&W’
Banksy’s ‘Trolleys’ from 2007 humorously depicts hunters pursuing shopping trolleys instead of wildlife. This witty yet powerful commentary on consumerism critiques society’s reliance on mass-produced goods, shedding light on the challenges of self-sufficiency in a capitalist world. We are exhibiting a signed black and white limited edition of ‘Trolleys’ as part of Banksy Editions: Volume I.

4. Banksy’s ‘Grin Reaper’
The Grim Reaper reimagined with a smiley face, more rave culture than memento mori. The clock reads five minutes to midnight, a nod to the Doomsday Clock and a reminder of how fragile things are — while still telling you to enjoy yourself. It’s consistently one of the most popular prints with younger visitors. A signed edition is available.

5. Banksy’s ‘Stop and Search’
Drawing on The Wizard of Oz, Banksy casts Dorothy and Toto opposite a police officer in blue gloves, pointing at the power imbalance and disproportionate impact of UK stop-and-search policy. A signed edition is on display.

6. Banksy’s ‘Morons’
“I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU MORONS ACTUALLY BUY THIS SHIT.” Released in 2006 and referencing record-breaking Van Gogh auction prices, Morons takes aim at the art market itself — hype, celebrity and speculation over substance. A signed sepia edition is on display.

Originally sold for just £40 at a car boot sale, Banksy’s now iconic ‘Flying Copper’ is a striking large screen print that features an armed officer adorned with an acid-house smiley face and angel wings. This satirical piece critiques authority, cleverly echoing the phrase “pigs will fly”, while challenging viewers to reassess societal norms and power dynamics.

Banksy’s first-ever commercial print, ‘Rude Copper’, features a British police officer, instantly recognisable by his custodian helmet, defiantly raising his middle finger. This bold black-and-white print critiques authority and law enforcement, offering a reflection of the artist’s complex relationship with societal order and power structures.

9. Banksy’s ‘Monkey Queen’
In ‘Monkey Queen’, Banksy presents a monkey dressed in royal regalia, set against a backdrop of red, white, and blue, symbolising British heritage. This satirical piece critiques inherited power and invites reflection on societal flaws, using humour as a tool for social commentary. Paying homage to Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee, Banksy challenges traditional views on leadership and authority, offering a provocative take on the monarchy.

10. Banksy’s ‘Barcode’
Banksy’s ‘Barcode’ features a striking leopard seemingly escaping from its cage, cleverly formed in the shape of a barcode. This thought-provoking artwork critiques various themes, including the commodification of wildlife and the dehumanizing aspects of consumer culture. Through this powerful imagery, Banksy invites us to reflect on how animals are treated and how individuality is often lost in a capitalist society driven by mass consumption. Banksy encourages us to break the cage and facade. An unsigned Banksy ‘Barcode‘ is currently on display as part of Banksy Editions: Volume I. Read more on Banksy’s Barcode here.

11. Banksy’s ‘Napalm’
Banksy’s ‘Napalm’ delivers a powerful critique of war by juxtaposing the trauma of Phan Thị Kim Phúc, the iconic ‘napalm girl’, with the cheerful faces of corporate mascots Mickey Mouse and Ronald McDonald. This stark contrast compels viewers to reflect on the disturbing realities of conflict within a capitalist society. By combining innocence with violence, Banksy challenges the commodification of suffering and the disconnect between entertainment and the brutal realities of war.

12. Banksy’s ‘Laugh Now’
Banksy’s 2003 artwork, ‘Laugh Now’, offers a sharp critique of human-animal relationships and societal dynamics. It features a despondent monkey wearing a sandwich board with the unsettling message, “Laugh Now, but one day we’ll be in charge.” This phrase carries multiple layers of meaning, blending irony with a subtle suggestion of an eventual uprising. The monkey’s somber expression, paired with the provocative text, invites viewers to contemplate the role of media influence, power structures, and the treatment of animals. It hints that the oppressed, whether humans or animals, may one day rise against their oppressors.
An unsigned Banksy ‘Laugh Now‘ is currently on display and available for purchase as part of our Banksy Editions: Volume I.
