"Dumbo" by Banksy is an extraordinary hand-finished screen print created in 2014, measuring 22.05 x 29.92 inches. This piece is an extremely rare and coveted work, with only 25 prints ever produced.

Banksy’s "Dumbo" is more than just an artwork; it is a poignant commentary on the exploitation of innocence and the destructive impact of radicalized movements. The piece depicts jihadists standing on and around a slain cartoon elephant named Dumbo, a character from the 1941 Disney animated film who is mistreated during his life as a circus animal. The image is a stark symbol of the treachery inflicted on the innocence and vulnerability of youth by extremist ideologies.

The "Dumbo" print was released following a video of the same name, which Banksy created during his "Better Out Than In" residency in New York City in October 2013. This residency involved Banksy releasing a new piece of artwork every day for 31 days. The video, posted in the Dumbo neighborhood of Brooklyn, shows Syrian rebels shooting an air rocket at a target, which is superimposed with an animation of Dumbo the elephant being struck down. This darkly-themed artwork is a powerful visual statement that resonates with contemporary issues of violence and innocence lost.

Owning "Dumbo" by Banksy means acquiring a piece of art that is not only rare and visually striking but also deeply meaningful. This print is extraordinary because it combines Banksy's signature street art style with a profound socio-political message, making it a significant addition to any art collection. With its authenticated signature and excellent condition, "Dumbo" is a timeless investment that captures the essence of Banksy's provocative and thought-provoking artistic vision. This piece is sure to captivate viewers and provoke reflection on the complex interplay between innocence, exploitation, and violence.
