Under the Wall
£44.99
This Banksy mural, often referred to as Sweep It Under the Carpet, depicts a maid dressed in a traditional uniform, sweeping dirt under a section of the wall that appears to have been lifted like a carpet. The maid is stenciled in Banksy's typical black-and-white style, while the "carpet" section of the wall remains part of the wall itself, creating an illusion of depth. The image plays with the idea of hiding something in plain sight, suggesting that problems or unpleasant truths are being swept away and concealed rather than addressed.
The piece critiques the notion of ignoring or covering up societal issues, symbolizing how institutions or individuals might attempt to hide uncomfortable realities beneath the surface. The maid, traditionally a figure associated with cleanliness and order, becomes a metaphor for how societies manage inconvenient truths by merely hiding them, rather than confronting or resolving them.
The mural's placement on an urban wall adds to its impact, with the seamless blending of the "carpet" into the wall creating an engaging visual illusion. The simplicity of the image, combined with the powerful metaphor, exemplifies Banksy's ability to use humor and irony to comment on larger social and political issues.
Embrace the versatility of the Oversized t-shirt, designed for those who appreciate the art of layering and creating unique outfits that effortlessly fuse modern trends with a hint of nostalgia. Its loose fit allows you to play with textures and proportions, giving you the freedom to express your personality through your style.
