Toxic Mary
2004
This artwork is a satirical reinterpretation of the classic Madonna and Child religious motif. Banksy depicts the Virgin Mary feeding the infant Jesus from a baby bottle marked with a poison symbol, offering a sharp commentary on corrupted innocence, religion, or societal ills. The dripping paint effect is characteristic of the version created for the artist's 2004 'Barely Legal' exhibition in Los Angeles.
