(After) Banksy (b. approximately 1973 – 1975, England) “Radar Rat (Yellow)” (2020) Limited Edition Reproduction (AP 1/20) Stencil/Spray print inspired by Banksy’s original 2002 image known as ‘Sonar Rat” or “Sonic Rat.” In this likely comment on the widespread presence of surveillance equipment, one of Banksy’s iconic characters, the rat, is wearing headphones, and holding both a tape recorder and a sonic radar while standing on his hind legs. He is depicted in front of a red spiral or bull’s eye and seems to be intently listening to what is going on in the world around him. Measures 27.5 x 19.5 inches (70 x 50 cm) unframed. Signature imprimee (stamped), Hand Titled, Numbered, Dated on Arches paper 360 g.

Banksy was born in 1974, in England. He is a graffiti artist from Bristol, who is famous for his artworks, widespread all over the world. Despite his success, nobody knows his real name, due to the artist’s will to carefully keep his real name from the mainstream media. He is known for his original technique, which allows to distinguish his artworks immediately. In particular, he uses a combination with a distinctive stencilling technique, in order to promote alternative aspects of politics. There are different opinions about his work: someone believe that his works improve the quality of the urban environment where they are placed, giving a voice to the people who cannot express themselves; others think that his work is an example of vandalism or that his political beliefs (apparently left wing) are not shared by the majority of the inhabitants of the environments that he decorate. However, thanks to the secrecy around his real identity and his subversive character, Banksy has achieved somewhat of a cult following from some of the younger age group within the stencilling community.
