Axe is a collaboration between Banksy and Escif a Spanish artist known for their clean style of graffiti. The two artists collaborated to create a tongue-in-cheek sculpture that appears almost cartoon-like in its simplicity and wit. At first glance, it looks like a regular axe stuck into a piece of wood. But, upon closer inspection, the viewer sees the axe is growing a flower out of its handle, which, while smooth near the blade, becomes rough and more “natural” towards the handle. Once more, Banksy strikes with his creative genius, as the axe – a tool used to destroy living trees – becomes not only a living tree itself but also a life source…

Made in collaboration with Spanish artist Escif this handmade tool with a happy ending makes a fine decorative companion to a fireside or radiator.

Banksy

Renowned for his thought-provoking and politically charged artworks, the true identity of Banksy remains a mystery, adding to the allure surrounding his work. Hailing from the streets of Bristol, Banksy's art emerged in the early 2000s, characterised by stencilled designs that blended humour, social commentary, and subversive messaging. His pieces, often created under the cover of darkness, have appeared on walls and surfaces worldwide, challenging societal norms and critiquing political systems. While maintaining anonymity, Banksy has become an influential figure in the art world, challenging conventional notions of what art can be and reminding us of the power of creativity to effect change.
