Running Coppers

Running Coppers is one of Banksy’s iconic works, recognized for its stencil style and sharp social commentary. The piece depicts two British police officers in motion, rendered in black silhouettes against a teal-green background. The contrast between the authoritative figure of the police and the act of running adds a sense of urgency and irony, a hallmark of Banksy’s art. In the lower right corner, the typographic “BANKSY” logo is visible, while the bottom area features additional graffiti tags, enhancing the urban and street aesthetic of the piece. The lower right edge shows noticeable wear, adding authenticity and character to the work.
