“A wall is a very big weapon. It’s one of the nastiest things you can hit someone with.”
– Banksy
Created in 2006, Happy Choppers shows multiple Apache helicopters flying across a dramatic sky, each marked by a bright pink bow. The clash between brute force and childish decoration creates a jarring contrast that undermines the seriousness of military imagery. The piece reflects Banksy’s satirical approach to war, propaganda, and the ways violence is repackaged to appear palatable. -
