Description

“I Fought The Law” is a clear allusion to the renowned punk rock movement that embodies the rebellious and non-conformist spirit of the graffiti world. Banksy’s clever alteration of the phrase to “I Fought The Law And I Won” represents Banksy’s victory in establishing himself as a celebrated figure in the graffiti scene. However, the artist’s dramatic arrest in the artwork by the Secret Service during the act serves as a satirical reminder that even celebrated artists like them can still face the risk of legal consequences for their work.
