Once again in this piece, ‘Grannies’, Banksy has played around with contradictory motifs. and ‘Thugs for Life’.
The print was originally released as part of the LA set in 2006, then later through POW.
Grannies by Banksy is a very humorous print.
It features two very nice little old ladies sitting in chairs and knitting. He has created the comical image of to grannies happily knitting onto sweaters the unlikely phrases ‘Punk’s not Dead’.
The other little old lady is focusing her energy on knitting a sweater that says “thug for life” on the front of it.
One of the best Banksy print made.
The print is sure to receive a lot of laughs and good memories of elders.
