Description

Between 2002 and 2003, Banksy designed four album covers for the Bad Meaning Good music compilations. Created from tracks chosen by different artists and recorded on CD and vinyl, these compilations range from electronic and hip-hop, to jazz, rock, funk and reggae.

The present work is taken from the Bad Meaning Good Volume 1 album and presents tracks selected by Skitz. This album cover features a large orange X in the background and a stenciled monochromatic black and white machine gun over the top. The machine gun wears large, oversized sneakers, which undermines the sinister and violent iconography of the image, emphasizing Banksy’s inherently satirical style.

“I’ve done a few things to pay the bills, and I did the Blur album. It was a good record and [the commission was] quite a lot of money. I think that’s a really important distinction to make. If it’s something you actually believe in, doing something commercial doesn’t turn it to shit just because it’s commercial. Otherwise you’ve got to be a socialist rejecting capitalism altogether, because the idea that you can marry a quality product with a quality visual and be a part of that even though it’s capitalistic is sometimes a contradiction you can’t live with. But sometimes it’s pretty symbiotic, like the Blur situation.”
