Different variations of "Girl with a balloon". This is the famous work that was shredded as soon as it was sold in auction. I think this is Banksy's most popular/ iconic work

Banksy's Iconic "Girl With Balloon": Symbolism and Soaring Value

"Girl With Balloon" stands as Banksy's quintessential image, utilizing his distinctive graffiti stencil technique to create an internationally recognizable motif. Originally released in 2004/2005, the print exists in limited editions, with just 150 signed prints and 600 unsigned prints, making it highly coveted among Banksy's works.

The image portrays a young girl, her hair and dress caught in the wind, reaching for or releasing a red, heart-shaped balloon slipping from her grasp. The poignant gesture and the red balloon, symbolizing childhood and freedom, convey a powerful message open to various interpretations. Whether interpreted as the girl losing innocence or anticipating new hope and love, the artwork's meaning resonates on multiple levels.

First appearing on London's Southbank in 2002 with the accompanying quote 'there is always hope,' the original mural was painted over by the council. Banksy responded by recreating it in a new context—a miniature version on the cardboard backing of a cheap Ikea frame. This version made waves in the art market, realizing £73,250 at a Bonhams sale in 2012.

Subsequent versions of "Girl with Balloon" have consistently surpassed this value. The gold-colored screenprint, "Girl with Balloon – Colour AP (Gold)," achieved £1,104,000 at Sotheby’s Modern Renaissance sale in March 2021, nearly doubling its high estimate. This exceeded the previous auction record set by another Banksy print, "Girl with Balloon – Colour AP (Purple)," which fetched £791,250 at Christie’s in September 2020.

The enduring popularity and increasing value of "Girl With Balloon" reflect Banksy's ability to capture universal themes and emotions, coupled with his enigmatic persona that adds an extra layer of intrigue to his artworks. The piece's symbolism, combined with its limited availability, continues to make it a highly sought-after and iconic piece in Banksy's oeuvre.

The artwork has three hue colours, a value scale of two black and white and one curved line, it also has positive and negative space. when looking at this artwork has an effect of balance and unity of hope.

Banksy: Building Castles in the Sky Exhibit is a Truly Captivating Experience

Getting to experience any permutation of art in person is something one cannot miss out on. Getting to write about it is an even bigger pleasure, so when The Workprint was invited to visit the works of one of the most elusive artists of all time, Banksy, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

Happy Thanksgiving!~

Did a little bloat for you all to show my Thanksgiving belly hehe it was a sprite and bananas bloat, and wow did I inflate really fast 🙈 Nonetheless, I had a nice, full tummy~ Almost as if I ate the entire thanksgiving table~

Mmph~ What do you think I ate at the Thanksgiving table? I don’t think I had any more room for more… The belt was sooo tight too… I might need a belly rub~

A lot of you asked for more videos, so I’ll be posting some one by one; here’s the first one! It was a bit difficult to put my phone down with such a big belly in my way~
