BANKSY, PRECISION BOMBING (GREEN), SPRAY PAINT AND ACRYLIC ON CANVAS, EDITION OF 10, 2000
Precision Bombing (green) is an early original Banksy canvas from 2000. It depicts a group of silhouettes and a sports car in the artist’s iconic spray stencil style, which is being targeted by a green precision gun pointer. The background of this painting is light green, however it was released in a number of colours.
This image could be seen as Banksy’s commentary on war, violence and the surveillance state, as well as the constant sense of paranoia that we can’t trust anyone. Since the men in suits could also be perceived as politicians or the “powerful”, the painting could also point to the dominant hypocrisy prevalent in circles of “Big Money” and the elite.

ABOUT BANKSY
Banksy is undoubtedly the world’s most sought-after and talked about street artist, his work represents his political and social commentary on the world, and has appeared on city walls throughout it – from London to New York, from Jamaica to the Gaza Strip.
Banksy is not only known for his high profile murals, he has been releasing limited edition prints for many years, produced in various formats, including signed and unsigned works, as well as artist proofs and gift prints. However, only a very select number of people know exactly what the elusive street artist creates and how many he releases. Some editions, for example, are only made available to VIPs, collectors and friends of Banksy’s who are part of the much-coveted inner circle. This has only made the demand for his limited edition silkscreen prints and artists proofs in circulation, grow in popularity year on year. Learn more about street artist Banksy.
