Monkey Queen transforms the iconic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II into a crown-wearing monkey in his traditionally brazen style. The black-and-white stencil depicts the monkey embellished in the royal jewels, appearing against a background in the colours of the Union Jack. As one of the artist's more provocative works, Monkey Queen first appeared in a London club, Chill Out Zone, during the Queen’s Golden Jubilee. He then made headlines when the government demanded the removal of the work from the club's front window.

Banksy

The most famously anonymous artist in the world, Banksy made the front pages when he auto-shredded Girl With Balloon during a 2018 Sotheby's auction. Known for his thought-provoking social commentary, Banksy's varied works include the Walled Off Hotel (with its view of the West Bank barrier), cover art for Blur's Think Tank album, and a gigantic graffiti piece about Brexit, in the UK port of Dover.
