Urban Art – Tagging Robot 1000pc

Description

Robots and barcodes are prevalent subjects in Banksy’s works, and Tagging Robot features both. In the Coney Island mural, a whimsical-looking robot smiles and spray paints a barcode on the wall. The number included below the barcode is the DNA code for homo sapiens, a clever and intentional detail that the artist includes to sharpen the image’s commentary on consumer culture.

Banksy’s satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique. His works of political and social commentary have appeared on streets, walls, bridges throughout the world and this 1000pc puzzle!
