Product Information

The panda is a highly symbolic animal in Chinese culture, often representing peace, harmony, and balance. It is also a national symbol of China and is highly valued for its cuteness and rarity. By using the panda in his artwork, Banksy may be commenting on the cultural and political significance of the animal, as well as the ways in which it has been commodified or exploited. Conclusion

The contrast between the cute and helpless image of a panda and the aggressive and violent image of guns creates a stark message about the destructive nature of violence and the power of taking a stand against it. Baby pandas are born pink and measure about 15cm– that’s about the size of a pencil! They are also born blind and only open their eyes six to eight weeks after birth. It’s thought that these magnificent mammals are solitary animals, with males and females only coming together briefly to mate. Recent research, however, suggests that giant pandas occasionally meet outside of breeding season, and communicate with each other through scent marks and calls. Banksy is a pseudonymous street artist known for his political and social commentary through his artwork.
