Kids on Guns
2004
Print on Canvas
‘Kids On Guns’ portrays the familiar imagery of Banksy's iconic balloon girl, but with a sombre twist. The silhouettes of a young boy and girl are depicted on top of a mountain of weapons, holding their toys in their hands. The girl's heart-shaped red balloon stands out against the severe colour contrasts, adding a touch of beauty to the composition.
Banksy's use of children as symbols of innocence is a recurring theme in his artwork, providing a hopeful element within his otherwise satirical body of work.
This poignant piece was released in 2003 as a limited edition of only 25 prints, further enhancing its rarity and significance.
