// Banksy’s Barcode is a compelling screen-print created in 2004 that juxtaposes the natural and the industrial. The artwork depicts a large, prowling leopard emerging from a barcode that has been reimagined as a cage on wheels. The black-and-white stencil design emphasizes the conflict between consumerism and nature, with the barcode symbolizing the commodification of wildlife and natural resources. The stark simplicity of the image underscores Banksy’s critique of capitalism and its impact on the environment. This limited edition print measures 50 by 70 cm, embodying Banksy’s characteristic ability to convey sharp social commentary with minimalistic imagery.
