Banksy Artworks Explained
Banksy's stencils pack a whole story into a single image. Here's what to look for in each design in our collection.
Love Rat
A rat, a paint pole and a dripping red heart. One of Banksy's best-loved rats, caught mid-stroke painting a dripping red heart. The red stays red in every colourway, so the heart pops whether you choose soft Blush or deep Midnight.

Girl with Balloon
The little girl and the red heart balloon. Banksy's most famous image: a girl reaching for a heart-shaped balloon drifting just out of reach. First stencilled in London in 2002, it became headline news in 2018 when a framed version shredded itself at auction. Here the balloon keeps its signature red against your choice of background.

Flower Thrower
Protest, with flowers instead of a petrol bomb. The masked protester winding up to throw, not a weapon, but a bouquet. First painted in Bethlehem in 2003, it is one of street art's most recognisable images of peace over conflict. The bouquet keeps its red blooms in every colourway.

Panda with Guns
The least cuddly panda you will ever hang on a wall. A panda squaring up with a pistol in each paw — cute meets confrontational in classic Banksy style. Bold, graphic and instantly recognisable across a room.

Bubble Girl
A quiet moment of blowing bubbles. A small girl sat on the ground, blowing a stream of bubbles into the air. A gentle, playful stencil that suits nurseries, bedrooms and calm living spaces as well as it suits a gallery wall.

Zebra Stripes
Laundry day, zebra style. A woman has washed the stripes off a zebra and hung them out on the line to dry. Witty, surreal and full of detail — a conversation piece for any room.

Sweep It Under the Carpet
The maid sweeping it all under the carpet. A uniformed maid lifts the edge of the wall to sweep the dust underneath — and reveals red brick beneath. Banksy's dry comment on hiding the things we would rather not deal with, painted in Chalk Farm, London in 2006.

Einstein E=mc²
Einstein, spray can in hand. Albert Einstein tagging E=mc² across the wall in fat graffiti letters. A clever, graphic piece for studies, offices and anyone who likes their science with attitude.

Flying Balloon Girl
Carried away by a bunch of balloons. A girl floating upwards, holding on to a cluster of balloons. Tall and slender, this design looks especially good in narrow spaces, hallways and alongside a stairwell.

Mona Lisa with Bazooka
The Mona Lisa, armed and wearing headphones. Leonardo's famous sitter shoulders a rocket launcher, headphones on — Banksy's irreverent remix of the most famous painting in the world. Wide-format and full of energy.

Mooning Mona Lisa
The Mona Lisa, with a cheeky twist. Banksy's playful take on the Mona Lisa, looking back over her shoulder as she bares all. Guaranteed to get a reaction — perfect for bathrooms, bars and anyone with a sense of humour.

Girl with Blue Bird
A thoughtful girl and a little blue bird. A girl sits lost in thought while a bright blue bird perches beside her. Detailed shading and that single flash of blue make this one of the softer, more reflective designs in the collection.

Cat and Mouse
The cat has the mouse right where it wants it. A cat poised over a mouse — the oldest game in the book, in stark stencil form. Minimal, witty and a great fit for kitchens, hallways and cat lovers.

Barcode Shark
A barcode that has grown a fin. Supermarket barcode lines curling up into a shark's fin — a sharp comment on consumer culture in one striking graphic. Wide and bold, it suits long walls, desks and over sofas.

Girl Watering Flower
Watering a flower that grows from an aerial. A girl tends a flower growing up an old TV aerial with her watering can — a tender, hopeful image with a nod to nature reclaiming the city.
