Banksy is undeniably one of the most influential artists of our time. From ‘Girl with Balloon’ to ‘Flower Thrower’, the famously anonymous street artist’s works are recognised and respected all around the world. Over the past decade, The Art of Banksy: Without Limits exhibition, featuring the unnamed artist’s most iconic works, has drawn 2.8 million visitors across 35 cities – including five stops in Australia. And while the exhibition ended its global tour last month, it’s paved the way for an exciting new chapter that’s making its world premiere in Brisbane this November.
Launching exclusively at Uptown, Queen Street Mall, The Art of Banksy: Chapter 2 promises to be the most ambitious and expansive Banksy exhibition ever staged. Spanning 1,550 square metres – double the size of Brisbane’s 2023 exhibition – it will feature more than 300 artworks, three times more than last time. More than 100 of these are original pieces, with visitors invited to dive deeper into the enigmatic artist’s world through immersive installations, digital mapping shows, holograms, sculptures and never-before-seen works.
Building on the original Art of Banksy: Without Limits exhibition, Chapter 2 goes deeper into the stories behind some of Banksy’s most iconic works, including ‘Cinderella at Dismaland’, ‘London Zoo’ and the ‘Ice Cream Van’. As the largest exhibition to date, Chapter 2 will also unveil a dazzling new hologram display, adding a futuristic dimension to Banksy’s satirical vision.
The Art of Banksy: Chapter 2 will make its world premiere in Brisbane on November 5, with tickets starting at $39 for adults and $27 for children. Tickets are on sale now via the Fever website, and given the last Banksy exhibition toured 35 cities worldwide, we have no doubt more Australian stops will be announced soon.
