Description
Banksy's 'Flying Balloon Girl', originally on a wall on the West Bank in Israel in 2005. Made in the UK and ready to hang on your wall, this print is presented in an MDF frame with a wood-grain finish that matches the monochrome image within. Banksy is a pseudonym for an elusive England-based street artist, who first came to prominence in the late 1990s. Known for his wall murals that usually appear overnight, Banksy's work is often satirical and subversive. His graffiti style is created using spray-paint stencilling techniques that are immediately recognisable as a Banksy, mostly figures in monochrome and sometimes with eye-catching red. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
This Banksy print offers an understated yet impactful piece that works well in contemporary or minimalist interiors thanks to its grey tones and striking silhouette. I love it for its urban edge and thought-provoking image, which can add a sense of personality without overwhelming a space. It pairs particularly well with neutral or monochrome schemes, and hung above a sofa or console, it can serve as a focal point. Practical tips include keeping the surrounding decor simple to let the artwork stand out, or contrasting it with softer textures like plush cushions or a textured rug for a balanced look. Its size makes it versatile enough for smaller walls or as part of a curated gallery wall in a living room or study.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
