Screenprint on wove - Unsigned // This iconic screen-print by Banksy depicts a chimpanzee wearing a sign that reads, Laugh now, but one day we’ll be in charge. The image is stark and minimalist, rendered in black against a light brown background, with the monkey holding the placard as if warning the viewer. Created in 2003, this piece is part of a series commenting on power structures, often using animals to critique social hierarchies and human behavior. The simplicity of the design enhances the emotional and political depth, evoking themes of subversion, rebellion, and societal control. Banksy’s use of stencil and bold text make this work a powerful statement on the overlooked and marginalized voices rising to power.

What is Lettrism?
Lettrism is an art form that uses letters, words, and symbols to create artwork. The movement was established in Paris in the 1940s and later gained popularity in the 1950s in America. Lettrisme is the French spelling of the movement's name, derived from the French word for letter.
