Banksy Gorilla in a Pink Mask
Banksy Gorilla in a Pink Mask is the first Banksy mural to be released to the public in the form of a fractionalized NFT.
Widely thought to be Banksy’s first use of his recurring primates theme, the original physical work has been reimagined in a whole new medium and stored on the blockchain as the fractionalized Banksy Gorilla in a Pink Mask NFT.

Rarity - Every NFT represents a unique digital artwork
A Rarity Score is derived from the prevalence of the coloured pixels and is ranked from 1 to 100, with 1 being the rarest. Just 16 NFTs are categorised as Epic and while the Super Rare (362 NFTs) and Rare (1492) will also be highly sought after, even the Standard NFTs, of which there are 8130, will represent a unique piece of modern art.
An algorithm reduced the original 128 colours to the pixel intensity of the five key colours - pink, dark grey, light grey, ochre and sand. The frequency of the colours’ appearance in the fraction and the pixel intensity give each NFT a unique quality.
Each NFT also has a Gorilla stamp which represents the purity of the fractions. A Gold stamp represents fractions that are primarily comprised of a single colour. There are 16 NFTs with a Gold Gorilla stamp with the remaining NFTs stamped with a Silver Gorilla (31 NFTs), Bronze (44) and Black (9909).
What is the Banksy Gorilla in a Pink Mask NFT?
- Gorilla in a Pink Mask has been digitized and split into 10,000 fractions, each of which is magnified 40 times. The resulting NFT shows the pixelated fraction along with the purity level of the colours and their rarity.
- The NFT rotates to reveal the full artwork with crosshairs pinpointing the precise location of the fraction.

Who is Banksy?
