TOXIC MARY by BANKSY
A Unique Collector’s Item
Smart Gallery are thrilled to announce that we now have a fantastic framed Limited Edition print of the fantastic piece ‘Toxic Mary’ by iconic Street Artist BANKSY, available for private viewing.
“‘A poignant and insightful picture that powerfully critiques organized religion, and no-one wants to buy. Absolutely nobody.’
Toxic Mary portrays Virgin Mary, cloaked in drapery, feeding her infant, in the style of a classic Renaissance painting. However, in this version, her baby is fed with a bottle marked with a skull and crossbones as if it were poison. Unlike Banksy’s usual clean style, paint drips are running across the image, just as if the scene was melting before our eyes, evoking a sense of despair.
‘Some mothers will do anything for their children, except let them be themselves.’”
A Limited Edition screen-print in colours on wove paper.
Numbered edition 494 of 600 unsigned, sold with Pest Control Certificate issued 14/11/2020. Recently re-framed, the picture is in excellent condition.
Toxic Mary by Banksy is currently stored safely in the Midlands area.
