Toxic Mary
£23,500.00
Toxic Mary portrays Virgin Mary, cloaked in drapery, feeding her infant, in the style of a classic Renaissance painting. However, in this version, her baby is fed with a bottle marked with a skull and crossbones as if it were poison. Unlike Banksy’s usual clean style, paint drips are running across the image, just as if the scene was melting before our eyes, evoking a sense of despair.
