Description

With Banksy Bomb , Van Apple offers a sculpture as ironic as it is striking, merging the animal world with the military universe. Made of chrome resin , the turtle has a smooth and shiny body, contrasting with a shell transformed into a black tactical helmet , which becomes the heart of the artistic statement.

On each side of the helmet, the artist has incorporated a reproduction of an iconic Banksy work, reinforcing the dialogue between street art, social satire and contemporary sculpture . These motifs, both critical and recognizable, inject a dose of rebellion and humor into the piece.

The juxtaposition between the peaceful slowness of the turtle and the armed, technological and committed universe evoked by the helmet and Banksy's visuals, offers a reading on several levels: between resistance and absurdity , fragility and armor , long time and social urgency .
