“Banksy Thieves” This trio of porcelain bottles depicts the daring theft of Banksy’s Howling Wolf satellite dish on Rye Lane, Peckham, in the summer of 2024. The sequence shows figures securing the dish, passing it along in a coordinated relay, and finally making off with it—transforming a chaotic street incident into a composed visual narrative. By translating this headline-making moment onto porcelain, the work reframes an act of opportunism as a contemporary urban fable.
