Banksy – Flying Balloons Girl Adaption Metal Wall Art
In 2005, Banksy visited Israel’s West Bank barrier. Reaching nearly eight metres in height the barrier is deemed necessary for security by the Israelis against Palestinian terrorism, however for Palestinians it is known as the “separation” or “segregation” wall. For Palestinians the wall has become a blank canvas on which they write messages and construct images reflecting their day-to-day struggles and feelings of imprisonment. Banksy’s artwork depicts a young girl looking upwards, floating, suspended above the ground only by balloons. A poignant and uplifting image on an otherwise controversial backdrop.

Frequently Asked Questions
2mm, isn’t that a little thin?
No! 2mm may sound thin, but in the world of sheet metal its a good thickness for a product that will not face any stress or abrasion. For perspective, a standard steel kitchen sink is approximately 0,9 – 1mm thick. We can cut the products on a thicker material with little effect on the price but its simply not necessary and could make some of the bigger artwork a little too heavy, and more difficult to ship and mount.
Can it be used outside?
Yes! Powder coated products can withstand the elements as long as they are not damaged ie: chipped or cracked. For coastal customers placing art in areas exposed to rain and sun, you will need to opt for aluminum or stainless steel instead. If the option is not available on your desired product please contact us for a quote.
How is the wall art mounted to the wall? What does "Raised" mean?
Most wall art products are provided with Stainless Steel Standoffs with screws by default. The standoffs are powder coated black to match the art or left in their stainless steel or aluminium finish if you are opting for a white or custom colour. Due to the physical shape and form of some products, they will only be available with either double sided tape or standard wall screws, and for thin framed art nylon wall spacers.
The Stainless Steel / Aluminium Standoffs are highly recommended and will allow your art to be mounted with a gap of around 12mm to 20mm (depending on the size of the product) between the art and the wall. This will add depth and a floating effect to your metal artwork as it emphasizes the arts cut out areas. The art can then be easily removed and relocated by simply removing the standoffs. Keep in mind that the standoffs are supplied in black for black art or a stainless steel / aluminium finish for any other colour.
Some smaller products are supplied with Double Sided Tape only. These products are not suitable for standoff mounting and can be stuck to the surface with double sided tape. Any product supplied this way will have this information available on the product page. We always try to position the tape in such a way as to make it as easy as possible to remove the art without damaging it, however, Metal Wall Art will not be held responsible for any damage incurred during the mounting or dismounting of your metal art.
If you would prefer to have your artwork mounted Flat to your chosen surface or wall then please notify us immediately after placing your order so we can adjust the artwork to have smaller holes suitable for standard screws.
If you would prefer to have your artwork supplied without any holes then please notify us immediately after placing your order so we can adjust the artwork. Your art will be supplied with no mounting holes and you may place the art as desired.

Charlie Brown Firestarter was originally created in February 2011 as a graffiti tag by popular artist Banksy. It was discovered painted at curb level on the side of a burned out building in Beverly Hills. The artwork depicts the Peanuts cartoon character Charlie Brown surreptitiously emptying gasoline from a red can. He is shown as having a smile on his face while smoking a cigarette. It is implicit in the work that Banksy is alleging that the cartoon character caused the fire that destroyed the building the graffiti was found on.

Banksy’s ‘Girl With A Red Balloon’ is undoubtedly one of his most iconic and revered works. The original work depicts a young girl losing a heart-shaped balloon to the wind. The girl is seen standing in front of a gust of wind in black and white. Her balloon is painted in bright red. The heart-shaped balloon represents love, hope, innocence and childhood. It is not clear if the artwork is supposed to represent a loss of hope or that what you desire is within your reach.
