ABOUT THE ART

'Soup Cans' obviously riffs on Andy Warhol’s 1962 series 'Campbell’s Soup Cans'. In contrast to Warhol’s ambiguous and affirmative attitude towards consumer society, Banksy’s print is a clear critique of the British corporate retailer Tesco.

Rather than highlight the various flavors of Campbell's soup like Warhol, Banksy's 'Soup Cans' repeats the title “tomato soup” in a deadpan aesthetic to cast a critical glance at capitalist society.
