Toxic Mary
Toxic Mary first appeared as a spray painting in Banksy’s 2003 London Exhibition, Turf War.
The piece is based on a Renaissance painting of the Madonna and Child, but in a suitably macabre twist, Banksy depicts his mother feeding her child poison.
In this provocative artwork, Banksy encourages the observer to consider the toxic relationship between religion and capitalism, and how authority figures, trusted and believed by the innocent and naïve, are often corrupted by the power that gives them.
Toxic Mary is number 354 of a limited edition of 600. This piece is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by the Pest Control Office.
