The Art of Banksy: Without Limits
The Art of Banksy: Without Limits exhibition will make its debut in Singapore this month. The tour has so far been a smash-hit in cities such as London, Melbourne, Montreal, and more, and Singapore is the 31st city to host the exhibit.
Banksy, the elusive street artist, is known for turning graffiti into powerful social commentary. His stenciled works, often placed in unexpected spots, tackle major issues such as war, capitalism, and politics – frequently with a touch of humor.
The exhibit will showcase more than 170 works, including originals, lithographs, sculptures, and video installations. Among his iconic pieces is Girl with Balloon, featuring a young girl reaching for a red heart-shaped balloon, symbolising hope, love, or loss. Another standout, Flower Thrower, depicts a masked protester hurling a bouquet of flowers instead of a weapon, promoting the power of peaceful protest.
Tickets are on sale now, but the dates are still firmly under wraps. Watch this space!
