Banksy’s Grin Reaper (2005): The Grim Reaper sits on a clock reading five to midnight, holding a scythe and wearing a yellow smiley face. A darkly funny take on time, death, and how we mask fear with forced joy.
Banksy’s 2005 artwork Grin Reaper showing the Grim Reaper sitting casually on the minute hand of a large clock resembling London’s Big Ben. The Reaper wears a dark hooded cloak and holds a scythe, but instead of a skull, his face is replaced with a bright yellow smiley symbol. The clock reads five minutes to midnight, suggesting an impending moment of doom. The piece contrasts death and happiness, mixing dark humor with commentary on time, mortality, and human denial.

New!: By Sweo and Nikita in El Berrón, Spain with 4 leaf agency.
A massive mural transforms this residential building in El Berrón, Spain, into a striking urban jungle. Created by artists Sweo and Nikita with the support of 4 leaf agency, the work features a hyper-realistic tiger leaning out of a painted window frame, its orange fur and calm gaze giving it the presence of a guardian watching over the street below. Beside it, a set of vibrant green monstera leaves adds depth and balance, tying the animal to its imagined habitat. The use of trompe-l’oeil makes the artwork feel alive, as if the tiger is really part of the building, merging nature and the urban environment. This piece is not only visually powerful but also reflects on the tension between wild beauty and city life.
