Banksy (1974) - Tesco Soup Cans

Official 'Tesco Soup Cans' by Banksy, published by POW (Pictures on Walls) , 2017

'Soup Cans' obviously riffs off Andy Warhol's 1962 series Campbell's Soup Cans. In contrast to Warhol's ambiguous and affirmative attitude towards consumer society, Banksy's print is a clear critique of the British corporate retailer Tesco. Rather than highlight the various flavors of Campbell's soup like Warhol, Soup Cans repeats the title “tomato soup” in a deadpan aesthetic to cast a critical glance at capitalist society.
