Thrower presents a variation of one of Banksy’s most iconic visuals entitled Love Is In The Air (Flower Thrower). The work was produced as part of Banksy’s homewear store Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and shows a man with a bandana over his face frozen in the act of throwing neither a brick nor a Molotov cocktail, but a bouquet of flowers. This image conveys a message of peace. The visual is split into three parts, presented as a deconstructed tryptic and framed by the artist in gold frames.

Unlike his original spray painted mural, Thrower was executed with the manual printing technique of silk screen printing with GDP explaining, "This is Banksy’s first experiment with a new technique for making prints - spray the stencil onto processing film and expose the result directly onto a silk screen. This avoids photography or computer manipulation and creates a super accurate analogue representation of gestural mark making. In other words - looks pretty dope”.

In February 2024, an original spray-painted Flower Thrower Triptych sold at Christie’s Auction House for over $1.9 million, smashing its $1-1.5 million estimate.
