- Synopsis
- This image is based on graffiti (street art) by publicity-shy Bristol artist Banksy. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The image shows a demonstrator or rioter about to throw a bunch of flowers. He is depicted using areas of solid black and white paint. The figure of a young man is seen from the front with his head facing to the right. His head is in the top centre of the page. He wears a baseball cap with its peak to the left and his mouth and nose are masked by a scarf. Down the page his body is leaning to the left and he has his arm on the right stretched out horizontally with his fingers pointing to the right. The arm to the left of his body is held out and bent up at the elbow with his hand, on the far left centre of the page. He is holding a bunch of flowers wrapped in paper with their stalks at the bottom and the yellow, pink and blue flower heads at the top. Further down the page from his body are the figures legs spread out to the left and right. The image has been created using a stencil technique. The areas of the image that will be dark in the final image are cut out of a sheet of thin card, to leave holes in the card. The card is then placed flat against the surface where the image is to be put and paint is sprayed or brushed through the holes. The card is then removed, leaving paint where the holes have been. The dark parts of the image on this page are the figures hat, chest, arms, and boots.
