In 'Toxic Mary,' Banksy reimagines the Renaissance Madonna, portraying the Virgin Mary feeding her child from a bottle marked with a skull and crossbones, suggesting poison rather than nourishment. Departing from his typically clean stencil style, this unsettling image is deliberately raw, featuring dripping paint that evokes themes of decay and destruction, challenging the viewer to question the sanctity often associated with religion, motherhood, and tradition. Whether interpreted as a critique of organised religion, pharmaceutical influence, or the generational transmission of harmful beliefs, 'Toxic Mary' confronts the idea that even the most sacred relationships can be corrupted.

Printed on wove paper, Unsigned, Pest Control COA.
Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by Pest Control Office.
