    Home Sweet Home, 2006

    Set within a heavy gilt frame and styled after an Old Master, the canvas features a quintessential English countryside scene: a stone bridge, babbling stream, and a chocolate-box cottage. The composition directly references John Constable’s The Hay Wain, evoking a romanticised vision of England frozen in nostalgia.
     
    This work belongs to Banksy’s Vandalised Oils series, but unlike others in the group, it forgoes the use of stencils or spray paint in favour of hand-painted additions. Exhibited in his landmark 2009 show Banksy vs The Bristol Museum, Home Sweet Home was displayed within the museum’s traditional galleries as part of a broader intervention that challenged the authority of curatorship and cultural hierarchy. Alongside pieces like Exit Through the Gift Shop, Home Sweet Home uses humour and subversion to critique ideas of national identity, heritage, and the stories we choose to frame as ‘art’ or ‘history’.

  • “All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?”

    – Banksy

    Created as part of the Crude Oils series, Landscape with Car Wreck reworks a traditional oil painting by inserting the image of a crashed car into a pastoral setting. The incongruous detail disrupts the romanticised view of rural life, transforming the found canvas into satire. The piece critiques environmental degradation, the fragility of nostalgia, and society’s uneasy relationship with industrialisation.
