This piece by Garrick Hastings cleverly plays with the iconic street art style of Banksy, featuring three monkeys dressed in shirts with the phrase “THIS IS NOT A” written across them. The text, paired with the recognizable stencil art technique, references themes of authenticity and appropriation. Below the monkeys, the artist’s name “BANKSY” is presented in bold, stencil-like lettering, emphasizing the paradoxical message of the piece—questioning identity, authorship, and the value of art in the contemporary world. The stark black-and-white palette adds a sense of rebellious simplicity, allowing the message to resonate with a raw intensity.
