Poster Banksy Dismaland

Dimensions: 59,3 x 42 cm

Banksy used a work by artist Jeff Gilette to promote his theme park.

Jeff Gillette is known for his paintings that combine Disney characters with dystopian landscapes filled with garbage dumps and slums. His works blend 20th century cartoon illustration and traditional European oil painting techniques, highlighting the global economic inequalities caused by 21st century capitalism. Gillette's subversive style was fully established in the 2010 solo show "Dismayland", widely credited as the inspiration for Banksy's 2015 apocalyptic theme park installation "Dismaland". The infamous street artist used Gillette's painting Minnie Hiroshima (2015) as the official poster for "Dismaland" and invited him to participate in an exhibition at the so-called amusement park, along with artists such as Damien Hirst and Jenny Holzer. Gillette draws inspiration from his travels to India and Nepal as a Peace Corps volunteer. His works have been exhibited in Los Angeles, London and Singapore.

In 2015, Banksy created a large-scale installation titled Dismaland Bemusement Park, and immersive and fully functional amusement park that featured political commentary on the distribution of wealth, sexism, and the UK government. The park operated from August to September of 2015, was funded by Banksy himself.
