“CND Soldiers” is one of Banksy's most iconic early screenprints, first released in 2005 by Pictures on Walls. In this powerful image, two British soldiers are shown stenciling a peace symbol (representing the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, or CND) onto a wall. The juxtaposition of military figures creating an anti-war symbol encapsulates Banksy's signature blend of irony, political commentary, and visual impact.
Executed in his recognizable stencil style, CND Soldiers critiques the paradoxes of warfare and questions the role of authority in promoting peace. The work reflects Banksy’s continued exploration of themes such as anti-militarism, protest, and the futility of war—central motifs throughout his career.
As part of a limited edition of 350 signed prints, this piece holds significant value for collectors and is considered a standout example of Banksy's early print work. The artwork remains highly sought after in the secondary market and frequently features in major street art exhibitions and auctions worldwide.
