Banksy’s Soup Can: Original Colourway (2005) is a playful yet critical homage to Andy Warhol’s Pop Art legacy, reimagining the iconic Campbell’s Soup Can through the lens of street culture and irony. The print exemplifies Banksy’s ability to blend wit, subversion, and art historical reference, using familiar imagery to comment on mass production and the commodification of art itself.
