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 pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
