Meaning & Analysis

Queen Victoria, a notoriously controversial and thus desirable artwork by Banksy, largely monochromatic original screen print save for the maroon block background. The image originally appeared as a mural on a wall in Bristol, and depicts a photo-realistic stencil of the British monarch in a highly provocative outfit, wearing ruling garb, high-heeled boots, and suspenders, sitting on the face of a woman, with suspender-clad legs akimbo, in a very suggestive manner.

Never one to shy away from controversy and a little political and social criticism, with this painting Banksy is directly referencing, and criticising Queen Victoria’s statement that “women are not able to be gay.” Queen Victoria went as far as passing anti-gay laws.

  • 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.
