Framed Love Rat
The first piece from Banksy’s Rat Pack series, Love Rat was originally sold back in 2004 using the sardonic sales pitch that it was, ‘ideal for a cheating spouse’.
Love Rat is your opportunity to own a piece depicting one of Banksy’s most iconic and widely-used motifs – the rat.
Over the years, Banksy has used the vermin as a symbolic tool for exploring the flaws of the human race, and as a symbol to represent himself and other graffiti artists aka those widely considered ‘pests’, who emerge at night, and are hunted down by the authorities. By giving the rat a voice, Banksy speaks up on behalf of the oppressed.
Executed in his signature monochrome stencil style with a pop of red, the piece both spreads love, and evokes the pain and suffering it can cause.
This silkscreen print is from a limited edition of 600.
