Meaning & Analysis
Banksy's Trolley Hunters is a monochrome screen print from an unsigned edition of 500 released in 2007, after the earlier release of mostly unsigned prints released in 2005 for his Barely Legal show. The artwork features three cavemen hunting a herd of supermarket trolleys, highlighting our subjugation to consumerism.
This artwork is mocking mankind’s current lack of ability to hunt and provide for ourselves – while there are still humans out there who have these skills, yet us in the ‘civilized world’ are unwilling, and unable, to provide for ourselves.
The Banksy print Trolleys (or Trolley Hunters) was originally released as part of the LA edition accompanying Banksy’s Barely Legal show in 2006. This first incarnation of Trolleys was unsigned and numbered out of 500. There are a limited number of signed prints from the LA Edition in circulation (low edition numbers and proofs), but these didn’t go on general sale.
