Banksy 'Napalm' Limited Edition of 50 Print , by artrepublicgallery on Feb 4, 2020 12:04:14 GMT 1, ‘Napalm (Can’t beat the feeling)’ is a limited edition Digital Pigment Print by acclaimed contemporary artist Banksy. Part of The Serpentine and Other Criteria’s 2006 set ‘In the darkest hour there may be light’, the print is hand signed by the artist and a limited edition of just 50.
First appearing in 2004, Banksy has reproduced ‘Napalm (Can’t beat that feeling)’ in black, grey and yellow with red ‘blood splatter’ for Hirst’s limited edition collection. ‘Napalm’ remains one of Banksy’s most iconic works to date, reworking Nick Ut’s Pulitzer Prize winning photograph The Terror of War with profound impact. The print depicts Phan Thi Kim Phuc, the victim of a napalm explosion in Vietnam in 1972. Here, Banksy replaces Vietnam Army soldiers with the twin figures of Mickey Mouse and Ronald McDonald: mascots of global capitalism the world over. Deeply unsettling, the smiling faces and colourful clothing of these capitalist clowns mask the horrors of consumer culture and its total disregard for humanity. Powerful and provocative, this masterpiece of political art is hand signed and numbered by the elusive artist himself and is sold with the Certificate of Authenticity from Pest Control.
