Sale Ends V2 portrays a group of four cloaked individuals in various states of praying and worshipping the sign, dressed in clothing reminiscent of the lamenting figures typically seen at the base of the crucifixion in Renaissance paintings. The bold red sign reading “SALE ENDS TODAY” evokes typical shop signs designed to catch attention and encourage people to purchase products they would not necessarily need, in an obvious critique of our materialistic society.
In 2021, an edition of Sale Ends V2 sold for a record-breaking £60,300, smashing its pre-auction estimate.
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.
