This offset print was produced for the Banksy v Bristol Museum exhibition in the summer of 2009, based on the original painting that was included in the exhibition.
The work was Banksy’s commentary on the state of UK politics, depicts chimpanzees in place of members of parliament at the House of Commons in London in the middle of what appears to be a heated session – Banksy created this work the same year as the United Kingdom parliamentary expenses scandal.
