Lithograph on paper. Featuring a panda with a pair of revolvers. Signed and attr. Banksy (British, born 1974) on the lower right corner with series number 2/500 in pencil. Gallery stamp on verso with notation. Whether plastering cities with his trademark parachuting rat, painting imagined openings in the West Bank barrier in Israel, or stenciling “We’re bored of fish” above a penguins’ zoo enclosure, Banksy creates street art with an irreverent wit and an international reputation that precedes his anonymous identity.  Banksy has gained his notoriety through a range of urban interventions, from modifying street signs and printing his own currency to illegally hanging his own works in institutions such as the Louvre and the Museum of Modern Art. PROVENANCE: Private collection (Toronto, Canada)
