Screen Print on Arches paper. Hand-signed by the artist. Blek Le Rat’s The Homeless (2022) is a screen print on Arches paper that reflects the artist’s long-standing engagement with social realities in urban environments. The composition presents a reclining figure wrapped in a blanket, rendered in stark black stencil against a white background. Beside the figure sits a dog, alert and watchful, while a small rat appears in the foreground—an emblem frequently used by the artist to symbolize invisibility and survival. The minimal setting intensifies the emotional weight of the scene, emphasizing vulnerability, companionship, and marginalization. Through his characteristic visual language, Blek Le Rat transforms a quiet moment into a poignant commentary on homelessness and human dignity.

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.
