Laugh Now (2003)

As recent political events in the United Kingdom and beyond only confirm, Banksy’s iconic Laugh Now has proved somewhat prophetic.

A thinly veiled reference to the politicians who, for better or worse, run the country, this instantly recognisable piece features a monkey wearing a ‘sandwich board’. Displayed on it are the words ‘Laugh Now But One Day We’ll Be In Charge’.

Referencing Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection, which proved that humans and monkeys share a common ancestor, Laugh Now is proof of Banksy’s sardonic wit and erudite treatment of contemporary culture.
