Screenprint on paper - Signed, dated and numbered // Banksy’s Gangsta Rat (2004) is a limited edition screenprint, featuring one of the artist's iconic rats dressed as a stereotypical gangsta. The black and white rat wears a cap, a chunky chain around its neck, and holds a boombox, symbolizing the influence of hip-hop culture. Above the rat, bold red graffiti text reading POW drips down the wall, adding to the urban and rebellious aesthetic of the piece. Banksy’s use of rats, a common motif in his work, often serves as a metaphor for societal underdogs and the overlooked. The combination of street art style and the humorous twist on urban culture highlights Banksy’s signature satirical approach to contemporary issues. This screenprint is signed, dated, and numbered, and part of an edition of 350.

What is new figuration?
Neo-Figurative Art is a collective term that refers to the revival of figurative art in America and Europe during the 1960s, following a period dominated by abstraction. Michel Ragon, a French art critic, argued that this resurgence of figuration occurred during a critical time of social and political upheaval in both regions.
