This 2022 archival pigment print on 290gsm Moab Entrada fine art paper, in a limited series of 100 signed and numbered editions, presents a stark black, white, and red composition that is sizeable at 16x20 inches, designed to make a statement wherever it is displayed. Gillette's work is often a satirical exploration of the intersection between global pop culture and the gritty realities of urban environments, and "Stealing Banksy" is no exception. The piece showcases a stenciled image reminiscent of the iconic style associated with the elusive street artist Banksy, featuring figures removing a wall piece, with the word "MINE" prominently displayed. The stark monochrome palette punctuated by the bright red text draws the eye immediately to the central message of the piece – the controversial practice of physically removing street art from its original public location to private collections for profit. In this print, Gillette plays with the layered concepts of art, ownership, and value. By depicting the act of 'stealing' Banksy, the artist raises questions about the nature of street art: is it meant to be a freely accessible art form or a commodity for the highest bidder? The image acts as a stark reminder of the tensions between art as a public treasure and as a private luxury. For collectors, "Art in Action- Stealing Banksy" is not just a piece of fine art; it's a piece of the ongoing dialogue about the place of street art in society. The limited nature of the print run reflects the exclusivity that comes with the territory of fine art, yet the subject matter critiques this exclusivity. Gillette's signature on each print adds a layer of authenticity and a direct connection to the artist, further entwining the themes of authorship and ownership inherent in the piece's narrative. Through "Stealing Banksy," Jeff Gillette invites us to reflect on the paradoxes of street art's ephemeral nature and its simultaneous status as a coveted commodity in the art market.

Mickey Hiroshima Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Rag Paper by Jeff Gillette Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2013 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 30 Size 14x9 "I am from the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. In the late 1980s, I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal for two years. During this two-year stint, I visited every major city in India, finding myself exploring the huge slums found there. On my return home, I moved from the Mid-West to escape the snow to teach High School Art in Orange County, California. Since finishing my MFA at Cal State Fullerton, I have been exhibiting in galleries both at home and abroad. My work is most often landscapes. A major portion of my output is paintings of slums of the developing world, where I often add an element of western cultural privilege (and oblivion) into settings of urban blight. Inspiration for what I call “Slumscapes” comes from the first-hand experience of traveling. Most often I return over and over to my favorite destination: India. In the vast poverty-stricken fringes of its vast megalopolises, I trip out on how the economic disparities are obscenely extreme. I’ve been spending a lot of time in Mumbai slums: photographing, filming, creating Plein Aire paintings, and creating interactive street art. Besides depicting slums, my artwork portrays post-apocalyptic debris fields, landfills, and detritus-cluttered deserts. The Juxtaposition of Disney themes and beloved characters (i.e.: Mickey Mouse) with all these dystopias best conveys my personal views. Pondering contemporary social, political, economical and philosophical conundrums, I can’t help but feel absurdly helpless, pessimistic and humored about the future of Western Civilization…" - Jeff Gillette
