Pregnant Monkey
2006
Print on Canvas

The pregnant monkey is a sardonic interpretation of an iconic Vanity Fair photo of Demi Moore, grotesquely distorted and shocking in the cigarette hanging from her mouth.
In 2006 Banksy created the Original Concept For Barely Legal Poster, a piece created to promote his very first exhibition in the United States, and one that subverts traditional representations of motherhood and femininity with characteristic irreverence. This mixed media artwork, sprawling across a 138 by 213 cm canvas, employs Banksy’s iconic stencil technique to reinterpret a seminal moment in 90s pop culture — Demi Moore.
