The “Wall and Peace” collection by Wabyanko invites viewers to reflect on the ongoing global struggle for peace and the human cost of walls—both literal and metaphorical. Initially sparked by the powerful imagery of the Berlin Wall, Belfast's peace walls, and the Israel-Palestine divide, this collection confronts issues of apartheid, separation, and segregation through a series of abstract paintings and symbolic representations.
The collection began with three standout pieces—“Wall and Peace Balloons”—which embody hope, freedom, and the desire to tear down barriers. As the collection evolved, Wabyanko introduced new works calling for peace in a world torn apart by conflict. Inspired by the vision of John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s iconic song "Imagine," these pieces serve as a reminder of the possibility for a peaceful future.
With the title “Wall and Peace”, a clear reference to Banksy’s book, “Wall and Piece”, this series is a visual call for unity and reconciliation. One piece in particular, “One Empty Wall”, invites viewers to engage directly by adding their own graffiti peace messages, creating a collaborative expression of hope and a living testament to humanity's desire for peace.
Perfect for art collectors, activists, and galleries committed to art for peace, this collection encourages a global conversation on peace, unity, and the dismantling of walls—both physical and ideological.
