French Maid - Banksy Wall Art
About the Artwork
"French Maid" or "Sweep it Under the Carpet" was painted by Banksy on the wall of the White Cube Gallery in London in 2006.
It critiques society’s tendency to conceal uncomfortable truths. By depicting a maid sweeping dirt behind a “curtain” made from the wall itself, the piece mocks superficial cleanliness and the denial of deeper issues—whether political, environmental, or social. It’s a sharp commentary on hypocrisy, cover-ups, and the illusion of order, challenging viewers to confront what’s hidden rather than maintain appearances.
About the Artist
Banksy is an anonymous British street artist known for his provocative, politically charged stencils that appear on public walls worldwide. Blending dark humour with biting social commentary, his work tackles themes like consumerism, war, inequality, and surveillance. Despite—or because of—his secrecy, Banksy has become a global cultural icon. His art, often ephemeral, challenges traditional notions of ownership and authority, while commanding enormous interest in galleries and auctions alike.
