Created in 2000, Che Guevara on Skates embodies Banksy’s signature blend of political satire and playful irony. The artwork reimagines the Argentine-born Marxist revolutionary as a leisure-seeking figure, swapping guerrilla warfare for roller skates. By fusing a symbol of rebellion with one of carefree amusement, Banksy undermines the solemnity of political iconography, transforming a global emblem of resistance into a witty, subversive commentary on how revolutions and their heroes are often commodified by popular culture.
