Guantanamo Bay
2006
Print on Fabric

This painting is part of Banksy’s series titled "Crude Oils," and portrays a Guantanamo prisoner on a paradisiacal beach in Cuba, wearing a black hood on his head. This political statement is a declaration both of human rights and a master juxtaposition of elements: the Guantanamo prisoner and a beautiful sea landscape. A critique on this War of Terror.
The Guantanamo issue is a constant on Banksy´s work and was depicted in Disney World, USA in 2006, as a real-life figure; a big and bold political art action.
