About the artwork

Presented against a solid pink background, two elderly women are depicted sitting in traditional armchairs within a domestic interior, engaged in knitting. Between them sits a small round table supporting a lamp and teaware. The humor and subversion of the composition stem from the text rendered across the garments they produce, which bear the phrases "Punks Not Dead" and "Thug For Life". Published by Pictures on Walls in London, the print juxtaposes conventional iconography with countercultural symbols. This juxtaposition addresses generational stereotypes and the integration of subcultural dissent into everyday domestic life.

Expert opinion

Released during a period of expanding studio production concurrent with the artist's early major institutional and gallery visibility, this print reflects the adaptation of outdoor stencil aesthetics into a collectible graphic format. The print series occupies an established position within the secondary print market, sustained by documented edition sizes and verification through Pest Control.

About the artist

One of the most recognized anonymous figures in urban art, Banksy is an English artist supposedly born in 1974. Since the 1990s, he has been making a name for himself with his provocative works, introducing the codes of the urban scene to the general public. His most acclaimed works are charged with a strong political message, denouncing both consumer society and political abuse. In 2018, Banksy made art market history with the self-destruction of Girl with Balloon, seconds after the hammer was struck, resulting in a new work entitled Love is in the bin. He is the second best-selling contemporary artist at auction, and his works are included in prestigious museum collections such as MoMA, Tate Britain and the Louvre.
