    Weston Super Mare, 2003

    Weston Super Mare, 2003, is a print that portrays an elderly figure on a bench, facing away from the silhouette of a circular saw. The stark, minimal composition is dominated by muted tones and an empty horizon, emphasising the sense of isolation and detachment. It presents a clear commentary on society's obvliousness to dangerous situations.

    - Banksy

    This artwork encapsulates Banksy’s ability to juxtapose the mundane with the ominous. The saw, an object associated with industry and destruction, intrudes upon the peaceful scene, suggesting themes of industrialisation, environmental damage, or societal disregard for the vulnerable. By placing the saw in an otherwise serene setting, Banksy highlights the fragility of safety and normalcy, forcing viewers to confront the uncomfortable realities often lurking beneath the surface of everyday life.
