This cardboard work comes from the ephemeral Dismaland Bemusement park.

‘If you want to say something and have people listen, then you have to wear a mask’

Love Is In The Air, also known as Flower Thrower or LIITA, depicts a young man, dressed as a militant, wearing a backwards baseball cap and a bandana to mask the lower half of his face. He is caught in the middle of throwing a bouquet of flowers as if it were a grenade or Molotov cocktail. Despite the apparent aggression in his posture, the figure is getting ready to launch a universal symbol of love and peace as opposed to a weapon.

This print exemplifies both Banksy’s formal artistic style as well as his powerful political activism, as it represents a powerful call for peace.

Dismaland was a temporary art project organised by street artist Banksy in the seaside resort of Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, England. Prepared in secret, the pop-up exhibition at the Tropicana, a disused lido, was "a sinister twist on Disneyland" that opened during the weekend of 21 August 2015 and closed on 27 September 2015, 36 days later. Banksy described it as a "family theme park unsuitable for children".

These works cannot be attributed to Banksy. They are souvenirs and documentary evidence of the witty and original park created by the British artist.
