David Henty | Banksy Red

David Henty (b. 1958) — Banksy Red (in the style of Banksy)

Henty’s homage practice extends beyond painted copies of individual artworks to pieces that play directly with the idea of authorship itself — fitting for an artist whose career began on the wrong side of the question of who really made a piece of work.

Banksy Red distils that idea into its simplest form: the word “BANKSY,” spray-painted in white across a flat red ground, set inside an ornate gilt frame more typical of an Old Master than a piece of street art.

Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey, and London.
