“You paint 100 chimpanzees and they still call you a guerrilla artist” -Banksy
Yes another bitingly satirical work from anonymous street artist Banksy, this monumental painting depicting the House of Commons filled with bickering chimpanzees is an impressive thirteen feet in width and eight feet in height. The original iteration of this work, entitled Question Time, was born a decade ago and was exhibited in the ground-breaking Bansky Versus Bristol Museuem show in 2009. It has since been reworked with some changes in detail and bears a new name, Devolved Parliament. The painting famously returning to the spotlight for timely exhibitions just prior to March 29th, the date that was to mark Britain’s exit from the Europeean Union, termed Brexit Day. Even more recently, the painting sold for a staggering 12.2m dollars at auction, setting a new record for a Banksy piece.
From start to finish, each exceptional piece of artwork is thoughtfully hand-crafted by one of our artists at Project Picasso. In a world of high-volume production and mass consumption, we instead chose to go the old-fashioned way by leaving the machine out of the process. We only offer pieces that are wholly created by extraordinarily talented humans and by doing so, we are able to employ and sustain hundreds of artists worldwide.
Essentially, the artistic gems we offer are one-off masterpieces. The process by which we create our artwork is completely organic so not any two are exactly alike. Like fingerprints or slices of pizza, the painting hanging on your wall is truly one of a kind. From old-world Renaissance era classics to modern-day contemporary compositions, each canvas is lovingly composed by paint-stained hands.
