“Stop and Search” (2007) is among the artist’s sharpest commentaries on modern policing and civil liberties, translating the UK’s stop-and-search powers into an instantly legible, disquieting tableau: Dorothy and Toto, icons of childhood innocence from The Wizard of Oz, subjected to a police search. The collision between fairytale imagery and bureaucratic authority turns familiar nostalgia into a pointed critique of control, systemic bias, and the erosion of freedom—core themes that have made Banksy’s works on paper both culturally central and highly liquid within the secondary market.
