Thrower
Banksy's Thrower (2019) was released in an edition of 300. It shows a man seemingly about to throw something in an act of violence, instead throwing a bunch of flowers— a symbolic appeal for peace. It adapts his earlier Love Is In The Air into a triptych across separate panels.
Thrower (Grey), 2019
Edition: 300 signed
Thrower presents a variation of one of Banksy’s most iconic visuals entitled Love Is In The Air (Flower Thrower). The work shows a man with a bandana over his face frozen in the act of throwing neither a brick nor a Molotov cocktail, but a bouquet of flowers. This image conveys a message of peace. In the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) version, the visual is split into three parts, and presented as a deconstructed tryptic.
