Meaning & Analysis
Soup Can (yellow, blue and tan) is a 2005 screenprint by Banksy, depicting a Tesco value tomato soup can. This piece is a playful nod to Andy Warhol's iconic Pop Art, highlighting Banksy's satirical approach within his oeuvre.
This work from Banksy's Soup Can series employs vibrant colours and bold lines to parody consumer culture. This screenprint echoes Andy Warhol’s Campbell's Soup Cans, replacing the familiar brand with Tesco’s value range, infusing irony and social commentary. The choice of yellow, blue, and tan adds a contemporary twist, aligning with Banksy’s critique of mass production and consumerism.
Renowned British street artist, Banksy, is the enigmatic figure behind some of the most subversive works in the Urban Art scene. Despite his anonymity, the artists' disruptive stunts have not only gained him notoriety, but they have vocalised his stance on many social and political issues. As seen with the likes of Girl With Balloon and Napalm, Banksy uses his distinctive stencil technique to produce thought-provoking commentaries on challenging themes. The showcase of rebellion that lines his work has caused his secondary market value to soar in recent years, propelling him to the top of the Urban Art scene.
