In Rat & Heart, Banksy’s familiar rat appears to have gnawed a heart directly through the canvas, transforming an act of destruction into an unexpected gesture of affection. The intimate work carries the artist’s signature humor while inviting a deeper reflection on outsiders and their place in society.
Previously exhibited in A Visual Protest: The Art of Banksy and accompanied by a Pest Control Certificate of Authenticity, the work is offered in our Modern & Contemporary Art Signature® Auction.
