Tesco Petrol Bomb (2011) Banksy - The Great Communicator in Trieste, Italy   Tesco Petrol Bomb shows a lit petrol bomb in a brown Tesco bottle. The bottle has the well-known blue and white Tesco value label. The neck of the bottle is stuffed with a burning cloth. The label reads "Petrol Bomb." It's a show of support for those who were arrested during the 2011 Bristol riots. People were protesting the new Tesco Express that opened in the Stokes Croft area. The protests became violent and people were arrested. Banksy produced several prints for sale and donated the profits to those who need to pay for legal assistance. People were able to buy the posters exclusively at Bristol's Anarchist Bookfair days after the riots broke out. Tesco Petrol Bomb is also a symbol of the supermarket expansion. Supermarkets are detrimental to free markets as local shops are getting wiped out.

No Ball Games (Green), 2008 Banksy - The Great Communicator in Trieste, Italy   No Ball Games first appeared a an artwork on canvas in 2006 at Barely Legal, Banksy‘s seminal exhibit in Los Angeles. However, in this first version, kids are playing with a TV displaying the image of a ball… Three years later, Banksy reproduced the piece as a spray-painted mural in Tottenham in North London, on a shop wall at the junction between Tottenham High Road and Philip Lane. No Ball Games portrays two children playing outside with what appear to be a sign that reads, “NO BALL GAMES” as if it were a ball itself. The image, portrayed in Banksy’s iconic stencil-style, is obviously rich with irony. The artist is making a social comment on how even basic children’s activities seem to be now controlled and regulated, thus maybe even encouraging children (and adults) to break rules. The irony of No Ball Games critiques the rules that Banksy believes restrict society on a daily basis. Banksy mocks overprotective governments, or “nanny states,” interfering with personal choice, implying that even innocent, everyday children’s activities like playing ball outside are controlled by the state. Obviously, the children should be taken more widely as symbols for people in general, constantly under surveillance and regulation by a higher authority against the artist warns us.  In 2013, the mural in Tottenham was removed from the wall and divided into three parts and sold to benefit disadvantaged children. Banksy released an edition of screen-prints on paper in two colorways in 2009: Green and Grey, each in an edition of 250 signed prints.

Learning from a man who was both a patriot and a poet. A Renaissance man when it came to art, business and policy, and a rebel of conventional wisdom. But above all he saw America for how great it could be, and cared deeply about his fellow citizens. It was a great way to kick off the holiday and made me feel grateful and privileged to have been born in this great nation. #independenceday #thegipper #thegreatcommunicator (at Ronald Reagan Presidential Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzgza8THi1O/?igshid=1piylltuxvygf
