Keep It Real features one of Banksy’s most iconic and popular images, the chimpanzee appearing here in one of its many incarnations as the loveable underdog wearing a sandwich board – underestimated and presently viewed as “less than,” but has the potential to flip the script.

Standing upright like a human being with their signature look of slouched shoulders and downturned eyes, Banksy’s monkeys often popped up overnight on streets, walls and bridges of cities throughout the world. The text written on their boards are often times foreboding, warning of a future that looks different than it is today, while other times the text was less ominous – as was the case with Keep It Real.
