Sale Ends (LA Edition) portrays a group of four cloaked individuals starkly outlined in Banksy’s signature black-and-white stenciled style on a white background. The individuals are in various states of praying and worshipping the sign and are dressed in clothing reminiscent of the lamenting figures typically seen at the base of the crucifixion in Renaissance paintings. The bold red sign reading “SALE ENDS TODAY” evokes typical shop signs designed to catch attention and encourage people to purchase products they would not necessarily need, in an obvious critique of our materialistic society. Through this work, Banksy points at the near-religious fervor with which contemporary society regards consumerism. The image can be interpreted as an ironic statement on the glorified, hegemonic status of capitalism and the market, commenting on the nearly religious nature of sales and of consumer goods worshipped by the masses.
