Love Hurts by Banksy
Love Hurts by Banksy
“This Banksy print is layered in its meaning and opens up the floor to many interpretations and its unanswered questions showcase a more sophisticated side of the artist. Where does the damage on the balloon come from? Was it from a previous attempt to scale over the prickly barrier, or was it damaged on its own from something long before? Is the balloon stuck in the fence or will it succeed in its attempt to do what balloons inherently do by nature – rise above? Love Hurts distills a complex scenario into a simple proverb: love can be a very painful, experience, but a hopeful heart has the potential to be set free.”
