Love Is In The Air (Flower Thrower) Dismaland Souvenir

Size: 55 cm x 35 cm

The piece comes with gift receipts from dismaland and tagged

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.
