Description
A classic image by Banksy, originally a wall mural in a parking lot in Downtown Los Angeles, depicting a girl on a swing. 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
I love how Banksy’s 'Swing Park' print brings an edgy, contemporary vibe to various interiors. Its monochrome background with bold red accents makes it a striking focal point without overwhelming the space. This piece works particularly well in modern, urban, or industrial settings, but can also add a playful touch to minimalist or eclectic schemes. For styling, consider hanging it above a sofa or sideboard to draw attention, and pair it with other monochrome or red-toned accessories. Because of its substantial size, it benefits from a spacious, uncluttered wall to really make an impact. Overall, it’s a clever addition for those wanting to introduce a touch of street art attitude into their home.

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.
