Disarming violence with love:

Humor and satire:

Even if you don't know the political background, you can read the positive intention of ``love over conflict'' at a glance.The reason why it is loved as an iconic figure around the world is because of its simplicity.

By choosing symbols of division, such as war zones and walls, as canvases, he expresses hope and humanity that remain unchanged even in desperate situations, and resonates with many people.

Features of the work

A strong visual contrast:

A ``rioter''-looking man is depicted wearing a baseball cap upside down and a bandanna covering his face, but instead of throwing a Molotov cocktail, he is attempting to throw a bright ``bouquet of flowers.''

Color ingenuity:

In many variations, the figures are depicted in monochrome (black and white), with only the bouquet of flowers in their hands being colored. This is calculated to naturally draw the viewer's attention to the flower, which is a symbol of peace.

Stencil technique:

A stencil technique using paper patterns is used, which combines the sense of speed characteristic of street art with a sharp message to society.

Symbolic location:

This work was first painted on the Separation Wall in the Palestinian West Bank around 2003. It attracted worldwide attention because it was depicted in a very sensitive location on the front lines of a conflict.

Banksy (Banksy) Born in Bristol, UK. A street artist who leaves behind guerrilla graffiti all over the world.

Whether you like Banksy or not, it is so famous that everyone has seen this work at least once, and it is one of Banksy's representative works, along with "Girl with Balloon."

It shows rioters wearing baseball caps backwards, their faces hidden with bandanas, and throwing bouquets of flowers instead of Molotov cocktails.

Although this painting is very simple, it leaves a strong impression, and one of the reasons it is one of Banksy's most representative works is that it conveys a positive message:

``Rather than firebombs (violence), fight by throwing bouquets (love).''

This work first appeared in 2003, when the separation wall separating Palestine and Israel was built.

This separation was 760km long and was painted on the wall of the separation wall. Banksy says this about the separation wall:

The separation wall turned Palestine into the world's largest open-air prison. In 2005, Banksy visited Palestine again and left behind nine murals.

By the way, this mural was painted on the wall of a gas station in Palestine, and it still remains as of 2021.
