Description

A brand new black framed liquid art picture by Banksy titled The Son of a Migrant from Syria. 

Size - 30" height, 38" width. 

Frame Colour - Black

"The Son of a Migrant from Syria" by Banksy is a poignant and politically charged piece that reflects the artist’s deep engagement with contemporary social issues. Enclosed in a refined black frame, this liquid art picture stands at 30 inches in height and spans 38 inches in width, offering a balanced yet impactful visual presence. The black frame not only provides a stark border that emphasises the artwork’s intricate details but also complements the serious and contemplative nature of the subject matter.

The artwork portrays the iconic image of Steve Jobs, the visionary co-founder of Apple Inc., depicted as a migrant. In Banksy's rendition, Jobs is shown carrying an old Macintosh computer in one hand and a black bag slung over his shoulder, evoking the struggles and resilience of refugees worldwide. This depiction is a powerful reminder of Jobs' background as the son of a Syrian migrant, juxtaposing his immense contributions to technology and society with the current global refugee crisis.

The use of the liquid art technique brings a unique depth and vibrancy to the piece. The liquid medium enhances the texture and detail of the image, creating a luminous and almost three-dimensional effect. The glossy finish captures and reflects light in a way that highlights the nuances of Banksy's stencilling, from the sombre expression on Jobs' face to the detailed representation of the objects he carries. This technique adds a dynamic quality to the picture, engaging viewers and drawing them into the narrative.

With dimensions of 30 inches in height and 38 inches in width, "The Son of a Migrant from Syria" is designed to be a centrepiece in any setting. Its size and striking imagery command attention, making it an ideal piece for sparking dialogue and reflection in galleries, offices, or personal collections. The black frame adds a touch of sophistication, framing the artwork in a way that underscores its gravity and relevance. Through this piece, Banksy not only pays tribute to the contributions of migrants but also challenges viewers to reconsider their perceptions and the human stories behind migration.
