Andipa
Gallery is
proud to present an exhibition of 20 original works on canvas, pallet and steel by the UK's leading urban
artist, Banksy, including the largest canvas to become
available, measuring fourteen feet in length.
Andipa
was the
first
gallery to put
on a major exhibition of Banksy's
work in the secondary market,
showcasing one of the largest collections of the
artist's
work. Over 25,000
people
visited the gallery
during the
exhibition
in
2008 to view one of the
most
extensive
private surveys
of the artist's work
brought together
in recent years.
This
exhibition will show only
original
canvases,
such as Are
You
Using That Chair (2005)
which
will
take centre
stage. Measuring over
four meters in length,
this is the
largest canvas by Banksy
to
have come onto
the
market.
The work is based on Edward
Hopper's
well-known
painting
Nighthawks
(1942).
Another work to be included
is an
original
oil on canvas
depicting a traditional
portrait of an English
Lord
struck by
a custard pie.
Also to be
included is a mini
canvas
portraying a monkey
wearing a
placard with
the
inscription 'Keep it Real' - a
befitting
statement in
today's environment.
Acoris
Andipa,
Director, Andipa
Gallery
"Banksy
continues to defy
the
establishment with
poignant commentary through his
street
work. He continues
to
evolve and adapt as an
artist, as we saw
with
his
response
to the
New Orleans
anniversary and
his New
York
Village Pet Store
creations
last year.
He's
always one step
ahead of the game,
reasserting
freedom of
speech through both his
street and his
studio
works."
Please Note:
Andipa Gallery does
not represent
Banksy. This
is an independent
exhibition
and the artist is not involved.
