“ It’s Through Disobedience And Rebellion That Progress Has Been Made”
Banksy ’s iconic image “the flower thrower ” as the provocative quote from Oscar Wilde, are the main themes of the painting by RETSIN . That interpretation is both a powerful and intellectual statement that challenges the viewer to think about the role of disobedience and rebellion in society. It is a message in which the title “It’s through disobedience and rebellion that progress has been made” is a clear reference to the political and social unrest that often lies at the basis of change. By using that quote from Oscar Wilde, RETSIN places his work in a historical context and suggests that disobedience is a universal human characteristic.
The image of Banksy ’s flower thrower , a symbol of peaceful protest, takes on new meaning in this work. He is no longer seen as an isolated figure, but as an extra of a broader movement, the hymn of rebellion and the violent aspects of protest and resistance against injustice. The chaotic composition, paint splashes, collages, graffiti, give the painting a rough and energetic appearance and suggest a sense of resistance. The painting undoubtedly contains a character that is both subversive and controversial. It is by reinterpreting Banksy ’s iconic image and combining it with a powerful quote that RETSIN aims to create a work that is both timeless and current ****
