Meaning & Analysis
In 2005, Banksy produced a limited edition of 10 signed screen prints titled Soup Can (violet, cherry and beige), revisiting Andy Warhol's famous serialized soup cans. The print features a Tesco Value soup can, mocking greedy corporations and critiquing the consumerism Warhol celebrated.
Banksy’s original four-colour screen print, Soup Can, is a play on Andy Warhol's now-infamous Pop Art Campbell’s Soup Cans. As Pop Art with from the 1960s, Banksy has taken the image of the commercial product into the realm of art, but has transported it into a 21st century cultural context and ironic style using a Tesco tomato soup can - far less romantic than the nostalgia we now associate with Campbell’s. Banksy released different colour variations of this iconic Soup Can print, seen here in banana, cherry and blue.
