Silkscreen in four colours on Arches 300g paper. Hand-signed by the artist. Blek Le Rat’s Le Guerrier – édition spéciale (2020) is a silkscreen print in four colors on Arches 300g paper, exemplifying the artist’s pioneering role in urban art and stencil practice. The composition depicts a black rat standing upright, gripping a rifle that unexpectedly fires a single flower instead of a bullet. This striking juxtaposition of violence and fragility transforms the image into a poetic and political statement. The rat, a recurring symbol in Blek Le Rat’s work, represents marginality, survival, and resistance within urban environments. The stark contrast between the monochrome figure and the delicate yellow flower heightens the tension between destruction and hope, reinforcing the artist’s enduring commentary on conflict and humanity.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
