Banksy

Paris-based CHAMPOP Galerie opened an outpost in Downtown Dubai this summer. It specialises in pop art and street art, and its first full-scale exhibition in Dubai features Banksy. On show are several originals plus screenprints and limited editions; the former, for example, include Never Liked This Banksy (2013), a characteristic stencil and spray paint piece on rendered brick that was removed by the building’s owners before the site was redeveloped.

The prints (like The Grannies below – unsigned but authenticated) will probably be a better representation of the artist’s work, but it’s always interesting to see a chunk of original Banksy even if it’s no longer in situ …
