In BNS’s punk rock rendition of Salvador Dalí, the artist is depicted sporting a Mohawk and a leather jacket. His wife, muse, and lifelong partner, Gala, is by his side as always—though this time, she appears as a tattoo above his eyebrow. In the background, a silkscreened image of a skull formed from female bodies is visible, referencing "In Voluptas Mors"(Voluptuous Death), a portrait photoshoot of Dalí by American photographer Philippe Halsman. Other silkscreened elements include sketches of a woman with drawers emerging from her body, an allusion to Dalí’s work. The title, "God Save Dalí," is a playful nod to the Sex Pistols’ song "God Save the Queen."
