Description
A brand new black framed liquid art picture by Banksy titled Snorting Copper.
Size - 34" height, 34" width.
Frame Colour - Black
"Snorting Copper" by Banksy is a striking liquid art piece that blends dark humour with a sharp critique of authority and law enforcement. Encased in a sleek black frame, this artwork measures 34 inches in both height and width, presenting a balanced and visually compelling composition. The black frame adds a modern touch that enhances the artwork's contrast and thematic depth, framing it with clarity and focus.
At the centre of "Snorting Copper" is a powerful image depicted in Banksy's signature stencil style. The artwork features a police officer, commonly referred to as a "copper" in British slang, bending over and appearing to snort cocaine. This provocative imagery challenges traditional perceptions of law enforcement and authority figures, using satire to highlight issues of corruption, hypocrisy, and the misuse of power.
The use of the liquid art technique enriches the visual impact of the artwork, adding depth and texture. The liquid medium enhances the vibrancy of colours, creating a dynamic interplay between light and shadow that emphasizes the scene's dramatic tension. The glossy finish interacts with ambient light, highlighting the meticulous details of Banksy's stencilled figure and the stark contrast between the officer's uniform and the illicit activity depicted.
With its dimensions of 34 inches in height and 34 inches in width, "Snorting Copper" commands attention and invites viewers to engage with its provocative message and social commentary. The black frame not only enhances the artwork's presentation but also underscores its thematic complexity and visual impact. Through this piece, Banksy encourages viewers to critically examine issues of authority, accountability, and the blurred lines between legality and morality, making it both visually compelling and intellectually stimulating.
