"Fight the fighters, not their wars"
- Banksy
Using a detailed monochromatic design, the message of this work is emphasised further by the simplistic palette allowing the increased impact of it's commentary. By juxtaposing a 'Golf Sale' sign with tanks, Banksy presents a sharp satire of how capitalist priorities can overshadow even the most pressing human rights issues. Famous for his anti-establishment, anti-capitalist and anti-war sentiments, Banksy fuses all of these themes in this print through the work itself and the socio-political context of the reference image.
