Banksy - Choose your Weapon (Soft Yellow)

Banksy's work, Choose your Weapon (Soft Yellow), is a limited edition silkscreen on paper produced in 25 copies.

First appearing in London in 2010, in "Choose your Weapon," Banksy nods to artist Keith Haring, borrowing the New York-based artist's Dog motif.

The artwork depicts a hooded man in dark clothing with a bandana concealing his face, a recurring visual motif in Banksy's stencil work, meant to symbolise the disaffected British youth. His casual posture contrasts his menacing appearance with one hand in his pocket and his cartoon dog, which is chained and barking.

The connotation in much of the media at the time, and in Banksy's interpretation, is that the dog has become an alternative weapon on the streets of the UK.

The artwork was made in different colours: 8 colours @POW - Bright Pink, Bright Purple, Dark Orange, Khaki, Light Orange, Slate, Soft Yellow, Turquois - 3 colours @Marks & Stencils - Lemon, Olive and Magenta - 3 colours @Online Lottery - Red, Sky Blue, Green, and Grey - Special VIP editions - Gold, Silver, and White - and the Queue Jumper’ edition. 

Choose your Weapon (Soft Yellow), which measures 70x70 cm and was created in 2010. The artwork is hand-signed and comes with the original Pest Control certificate.

SILKSCREEN "CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON": MEANING OF BANKSY'S WORK

In the silkscreen Choose Your Weapon, several contrasting aspects can be observed that explain the meaning of Banksy's work.

The relaxed posture of the male figure, walking with one hand in his pocket, contrasts with his menacing appearance.

Similarly, the silhouette of the dog, reminiscent of the world of cartoons, clashes with the behaviour of the animal, which is chained and barking. Furthermore, the stylized dog contrasts with the realistic representation of its owner.

The hooded man represents disaffected youth, a prominent role in British pop culture. The young person's best friend becomes an alternative weapon to protect themselves on the streets of the UK.

With Choose Your Weapon, Banksy aims to denounce violence, proposing a new way of relating and communicating.

The artist wants to demonstrate that there are numerous other ways to express one's ideas and give voice to them. Banksy chooses street art to bring out the meaning of his work, a weapon that impacts people more persuasively than violence.
