by West Country Prince. Number 318 / 500 Size 70 x 70 cm The link between Banksy and the elusive West Country Prince (WCP) is steeped in rumour, replication, and a certain brand of rebellious artistry. WCP is a master screen-printer, renowned for crafting near-perfect reproductions of Banksy’s classic works – so precise they that some believe it can only be from printing from the same screens. What’s curious is the silence from Banksy’s official body, Pest Control—typically relentless in defending the artist’s intellectual territory. Yet WCP has been releasing these pieces for years with no legal interference. It begs the question: is this just an audacious fan, a trusted insider, or could WCP actually be Banksy behind an alternate persona? While these prints aren’t officially sanctioned, they’ve earned cult status among admirers who love the work for what it is - not what it’s worth. No art investment hype, just raw, unadulterated art for people who actually want the closest thing to Banksy's work on their walls. Each print comes discreetly marked with either ‘West Country Prince’ or ‘Not Banksy’, and they’re individually numbered.
