About Keep It Real (Chimp) – Banksy – Pop Art Painting
Along with the rat, the chimp is one of Banksy’s most frequently used animal characters. Satirizing the nature of humankind, Banksy uses these animals as didactic figures in his critical social commentary. The catchphrase on the board is also typical of those often used by the artist to convey powerful or poignant messages to his audience. Notably, it was displayed on the occasion of the artist’s first solo show Existentialism which took place in Los Angeles later that same year, alongside other provocative aphorisms including “Keep it real” or “Lying to a cop is never wrong”.
