Choose Your Weapon (Silver) is a rare and highly sought-after screen print by the enigmatic street artist Banksy, released in 2010 as part of a limited edition of just 25 signed prints. This piece belongs to the acclaimed Choose Your Weapon series, which powerfully blends contemporary street culture with art historical references.

The image features a hooded youth, faceless and anonymous, walking a leashed dog—stylized in the instantly recognizable form of Keith Haring’s barking dog. This fusion of Haring’s bold symbolism with Banksy’s urban figure serves as a layered commentary on generational protest, cultural rebellion, and the evolution of street art.

The silver edition stands out for its sleek, metallic palette, lending the work a futuristic and industrial edge. The shimmering tone contrasts beautifully with the darker figure, making the print visually arresting while reinforcing themes of authority, anonymity, and modern resistance.

With only 25 hand-signed and numbered prints in existence, the Silver edition is one of the rarest and most exclusive colorways in the Choose Your Weapon series. Its cool-toned sophistication, combined with Banksy’s trademark wit and social critique, makes it a prized piece among collectors and a striking representation of his print work at its most refined.
