Banksy, “Turbo Zone Truck” (Laugh Now But One Day We'll Be In Charge)
Invited to southern Spain in 1999, Banksy was propositioned to paint the Volvo lorry in anticipation of a warehouse party that had been planned for the New Year and millennium celebrations in 2000.
After spraying the initial layers of paint on stage and under spotlights during the party, Banksy completed the truck over the next two weeks, detailing and rendering the artwork in a prototypical, free-hand style.
In the subsequent years, the truck toured Europe and South America with Turbozone Circus, a company known for their pyrotechnics.
