The Kiss x Banksy
Subversive and poetic, this painting revisits Gustav Klimt's ‘The Kiss’ in Banksy's committed urban style. The silhouettes of the two lovers stand out in black against a textured background marked by the passage of time, evoking both the timelessness of love and its fragility. Dripping red hearts, symbols of passion and raw emotion, punctuate the composition, instilling a dimension of romantic rebellion. This work transforms a classic scene into a contemporary statement, where intimacy asserts itself in the midst of chaos.
