ICONIC WORKS

The images that defined Banksy — decoded one by one.

Banksy's iconic symbol of peaceful protest — a masked figure hurling a bouquet instead of a Molotov.

From a Bristol wall to an art-history icon — and the painting that shredded itself at auction.

A girl tenderly embracing a bomb — Banksy's most disarming anti-war image, from the earliest painted canvases.

A monkey clutching a 'Keep It Real' placard — Banksy mocking authenticity in an art market built on hype.

The sandwich-board chimp — “Laugh now, but one day we'll be in charge.” Banksy's outsider manifesto.

A leopard slipping out of its barcode cage — freedom, captivity and the price tag placed on nature.
