Lewis Bannister – Grab The Wheel

Original Spray Stencil on Recycled Elephant Dung Paper

Lewis Bannister is a contemporary British artist whose work draws influence from urban culture, storytelling and the visual language of street art. Known for his highly detailed stencil work and cinematic compositions, Bannister creates artworks that capture moments of tension, humour and human interaction. His distinctive style combines technical precision with narrative depth, resulting in pieces that engage viewers both visually and emotionally.

This original artwork was created as a one-off piece in support of fundraising efforts for Glasgow Children's Hospital. Executed as a spray stencil on recycled elephant dung paper, the work combines the immediacy and energy of street art with a unique handmade surface, creating a piece that is both visually compelling and rich in character.

Featuring a dramatic scene of passengers reacting during a moment of apparent chaos, Grab The Wheel explores themes of responsibility, control and the unpredictability of life. Bannister's meticulous stencil technique creates movement, depth and tension throughout the composition, while the monochrome palette enhances the sense of urgency and drama. The result is a striking artwork that captures a fleeting moment with remarkable intensity and detail.

This artwork comes from a private collection assembled in support of children's charities. For deeply personal reasons, the collector has chosen to continue that charitable legacy, with a donation from the sale of each piece from the collection being made to Bristol Children's Hospital.

As a unique original artwork and part of a collection with a meaningful charitable story, this piece offers collectors the opportunity to acquire not only a one-of-a-kind work of art but also to contribute towards an important cause.
