BANKSY, JACK & JILL, UNSIGNED SCREENPRINT, 2005 Jack and Jill, released in 2005 is a piece by Banksy which shows two children; a boy in a t-shirt and shorts with a young girl, pigtails in her hair, wearing a polka-dot dress and holding a basket of flowers. They run together in what seems to be an afternoon in the countryside, two children playing in the summer holidays, carefree and innocent. Except that, the two children are wearing bulletproof Police vests.
A classic subversion technique employed by Banksy to essentially let the viewer know that all is not what it seems. The blocked cornflower blue background gives the artwork that feeling of freedom, and yet the children are restricted by the bulky vests they wear; is his a comment on the way law enforcement is restricting our freedoms or is Banksy suggesting our children require more protection?
