The Banksy – Dismaland Print is a captivating artwork hand-finished by Banksy and gifted to the staff who worked at Dismaland in the Autumn of 2015.
The image is a striking representation of one of the pieces at the Tropicana in Weston super-mare, a place that holds a special meaning for Banksy since it was a spot he frequented during his childhood.
The artwork features a riot-control vehicle brought in from Northern Ireland, and the vehicle has been transformed into a slide for children, a playful and whimsical take on the otherwise intimidating vehicle. The artwork’s striking visuals depict the vehicle’s imposing presence in a way that is both thought-provoking and fun. One notable aspect of the artwork is the rainbow over the vehicle with children playing on the roof. The rainbow brings a burst of colour to the artwork and symbolises hope and positivity. The children playing on top of the vehicle represent a sense of freedom and joy, in contrast to the vehicle’s original purpose.
