TOP 50 Works of Banksy
But who is Banksy ? When did he first appear? Where does he come from?
Know this: at Lofty Trend, we are incredibly passionate about this street artist. No doubt, as you read on, you will learn more about this very famous, yet anonymous, figure .
In this article, you will discover:
- The Top 50 works of Banksy , ranked according to their notoriety and success on the art scene.
- An artistic analysis of each of these works.
- The various public spaces in which his art has been expressed.
All of his works have always been created with a very specific purpose: to denounce and/or support. Once you have read this article, none of his works will hold any secrets for you!
Let's discover all of this together, without further delay.
What is Banksy's style?
Banksy chose to use stencils to create his pieces, probably because it's a faster way to paint. He was influenced in his early days by a French graffiti artist called Blek le Rat.
Blek le Rat is considered the father of stencil graffiti, and many sometimes confuse the work of the two artists. Banksy doesn't just do street art; he has produced drawings as well as paintings. He even created his own amusement park called Dismaland .
The artist is shrouded in mystery. But we certainly wouldn't label him a criminal. He's a leading artist who primarily fights for the rights of the oppressed.
Below you will find a brief (and by no means exhaustive) overview of his work. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

TOP 43: no ball games
No Ball Games first appeared on canvas in 2006 during the Barely Legal exhibition. This exhibition took place in the Skid Row district (central Los Angeles) .

Ironically, the council then began to protect graffiti from vandalism.

TOP 39: rickshaw kid
Banksy's Rickshaw is a perfect example to show you how the artist exploits graffiti art to deliver messages about capitalism and important social issues.
The entire artwork is in black and white, except for the two Caucasian figures; slightly plump, a sign of wealth for centuries, so that our eyes are drawn only to them. We also see in this work that it is a small African American boy pushing the famous tuk-tuk.
TOP 38: Street art paradise in Gaza
A Palestinian boy playing on the beach, drawn on a security barrier in Bethlehem.
Like most of his works and street art in general, it has a flourishing of fantasy linked to a strong anti-political message .

TOP 37: Street art Gaza wall

TOP 35: Graffiti is a crime
Art or vandalism: the debate surrounding street art . Where do we draw the line between vandalism and art? With this work, Banksy wants everyone who admires his creations to ask themselves this question...
What if all of Banksy's secret admirers suddenly started doing the same thing all over the world? Would the walls of our cities all become works of street art, or just pure vandalism? Another question that arises is, why me (Banksy) and not you? You too can denounce what you want to denounce!
TOP 34: New Year's greetings from Port Talbot
A surprising Banksy artwork appeared on the side of a garage in Port Talbot, South Wales. The piece, titled Season's Greetings, quickly attracted thousands of visitors to the town. And in January 2019, interest was so great that art dealer John Brandler paid a "six-figure sum" for the graffiti.
The decision to sell the Banksy sparked some controversy, the main concern being that Brandler would remove the work from Port Talbot, thus eliminating a valuable tourist attraction. But Brandler relocated the artwork to a new street art museum, notably alongside works by other renowned street artists such as Blek le Rat and Pure Evil. He guaranteed its display there for the next three years and even promised locals free entry.
The residents were happy, but some still wondered whether graffiti or street art had a place in a museum . Some say that the privatization of street art is contrary to the nature of the art form, that graffiti in a museum is like a caged tiger.
TOP 33: The graffiti artist who vomits flowers
This New York piece illustrates self-expression with a graffiti artist vomiting flowers. The caption associated with this piece is "better out than in," indicating that if you have something to express, it's better to let it out rather than hold it in.

TOP 32: Mario and the Mushroom Policeman
A piece created in London by the famous street artist Banksy shows Mario being scolded by the police after being caught with mushrooms.

TOP 31: Banksy the child with the hammer and the fire hydrant

In this instance, he depicted a simple black silhouette of a child with a large hammer, about to strike a fire hydrant. The artwork is located on 79th Street, just east of Broadway, in Manhattan's Upper West Side.

This mural, found in Bordeaux, in southwestern France, was created in the context of the Yellow Vest protests in France, which saw thousands of people take to the streets every weekend for several weeks in response to rising fuel prices and government tax reforms.
The little girl depicted in the artwork also appears to have had her hand torn off, and is left with a bloody stump, like the protester injured during these riots.
TOP 29: Hope behind the Gaza wall
This photo shows a policeman discovering what lies on the other side of the Palestine-Israel wall.
By revealing a paradise, Banksy highlights the contrast between the stern police officer and the utopian place on the other side of the wall. He denounces the fact that while the police are supposed to protect us and make the world safer, in reality, they cause chaos and destruction.
Banksy questions the role of the police, namely whether they are there to serve and protect us, to pave the way for a better future, or whether they are there to protect us from reality and make the world a scary place.

Life is the flower, life is the song, life is jazz, life is woman. The power of this painting lies in its openness to interpretation.

The monochrome palette, often used by Banksy to emphasize his powerful message, depicts a majestic leopard that appears to emerge from a barcode resembling a cage on wheels. Like many of Banksy's works, this piece allows for multiple interpretations; the barcode, introduced in the mid-1970s, was designed to encourage faster and more frequent purchases, and here it is used as a symbol of consumerism and capitalism.
Banksy uses it to make it look like a cage from which a creature can and must escape.

The number of CCTV cameras in the UK has reached staggering levels, and in his silent protest against the art, Banksy is not only telling the government how he feels, but also making his feelings public.
The words were stenciled using spray paint, a technique often used by Banksy to promote his ideas and beliefs to the people.

Their clothing, hairstyles, and attitudes are representative of these subcultures, giving the impression that they are attending a music festival.
They represent what society might consider "misfits" or anti-capitalists. But while their taste for music seems to demonstrate a rejection of society (even though they queue up to buy a $30 t-shirt) , their spending habits are such that capitalism, even for its most fervent opponents, is actually a trap.
