SINGAPORE – The guerilla-style political art of anonymous graffiti artist Banksy, which has popped up on streets in cities worldwide, will finally grace vandalism-tough Singapore this December – albeit indoors.

More than 170 of his artworks will be on show at The Art Of Banksy: Without Limits, which has toured globally and been viewed by more than 2.1 million visitors since 2016.

Dates for the exhibition, held on the first floor of the Royal Plaza on Scotts hotel, have not been announced. But the ticket wait list is now open at artofbanksyapac.com.

An exclusive highlight of the Singapore exhibition is a custom-built entrance featuring a lobby styled after Banksy’s controversial boutique hotel The Walled Off Hotel, which opened in Bethlehem, West Bank, in 2017 and offers “the worst view in the world”.

Other highlights by the self-styled prankster include Dismaland, described by the artist as a “family theme park unsuitable for children”; a print of the iconic Flower Thrower, which was stencilled onto a mural in the West Bank in 2003; and his apocalyptic sculpture of a submerged British telephone booth.
