"Some people become vandals because they want to make the world a better looking place.”
- Banksy
Created in 2006, SWAT Van is a sculptural work in which Banksy transformed a full-sized police riot van. The vehicle is covered in stencilled imagery of SWAT officers and comic motifs, undermining its intimidating form with humour and satire. First shown at Barely Legal in Los Angeles, the piece exemplifies Banksy’s interest in reappropriating objects of authority into platforms for social critique. -
