Anonymous street artist Banksy has gained popularity (and notoriety) for his guerilla-style political graffiti, which has appeared in various locations around the world.

Now, some of the British artist's most iconic works will be coming to Singapore this December, as part of a touring exhibition The Art of Banksy: Without Limits. 

It had previously received positive reviews across its tour in Australia, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the US — garnering more than two million visitors and an average visitor rating of 4.7 out of five stars, according to the organisers. 

The exhibition is set to open at 25 Scotts Road and will include more than 170 of Banksy's works from certified originals and prints to photos, lithographs, sculptures and murals. 

Visitors can also expect video-mapping installations specially created for this exhibition.

The exhibition will feature several highlights, including an entrance lobby inspired by Banksy's 2017 boutique hotel exhibition called Walled Off Hotel. 

The original installation is considered to be a key piece of social commentary on the Israeli-Palestine conflict.
