Bird and Grenade
2002
Print on Paper
“Bird and Grenade” from Banksy's debut exhibition, "Existencilism," features a juxtaposition of innocence and danger. The artwork portrays a charming and cartoonish character, Tweety Pie, holding a grenade in its beak.
The composition includes a closing circle reminiscent of the "Looney Tunes" cartoon ending, with the phrase "That's All Folks." This playful piece invites us to contemplate the contrast between the lightheartedness of popular culture and the harsh reality of violence.
