“Slick” early graffitis by Banksy in the 1990’s – 2000’s

  • by

Banksy’s satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique. This particular style is usually recognised easily by people as his trademark. Most of Banksy’s pieces nowadays can be described as bold and striking with the abundance of blacks (and spot colours on occasion). His vibrant murals when he was just a starting freehand graffiti artist are lesser known to the public.

For this post, we’ve compiled a selection of Banksy’s earliest works created before he became famous for his stencil pieces.

Banksy Gorilla Print POW

Rumoured for the past two years, the elusive “Gorilla” print by Banksy which should have been released by Pictures On Walls years ago is still missing.
Announced in 2011 by POW, this piece of Banksy’s art was supposed to be made available for purchase in March 2012.
Pretexting glitter problems at first, we can now confirm with you that this Banksy’s release has been cancelled by POW and will sadly never be released.
The print-release was killed over a year ago but was never officially confirmed by Banksy or his team.
On the bright side of things, we are hearing some stuff should be happening soon.
Painted in the early 2000’s in Bristol, the Gorilla has been accidentally painted over by the building’s new owner back in July 2011.
Take a look at more images from this iconic Banksy piece after the break.
