“I’d been painting rats for three years before someone said “That’s clever, it’s an anagram of art” and I had to pretend I’d known that all along”


Banksy - Welcome To Hell: Analysis and Meaning

Banksy presents an indignant-looking rat, holding a placard with the words "Welcome To Hell".

There are other versions of this print, featuring sentences such as “Get Out While You Can" or  "Because I’m Worthless” and variations in different colors.

The rat, who wears a necklace with a symbol of peace, is at war with its own condition and is the spokesperson for this protest.

Therefore, the rat is an explicit analogy of injustice and of those who faces it on a daily basis.

Banksy's choice to use the rat in Street Art is emblematic, suggesting parallels between the rodent and graffiti artists as both engage in an eternal struggle to control the city.

Eventually, the becomes the ambassador of the artist's position on capitalism and consumerism, criticising a society that is eternally in unjust and stupid competition.


Banksy: Street Art and Social Condemnation

We know that Banksy uses Street Art as a tool for his social artistic struggle.

The rat stigmatizes the fight for power and the race for status and materiality, thus creating a paradox: is mankind right to denigrate the race of rats or viceversa, should rats criticize man and his society?

In line with Banksy’s style, the rat reveals the faults of modern society and defames the members of our community.

In his book Wall and Piece, Banksy’s states “If you are dirty, insignificant and unloved, then rats are the ultimate role model”.

So rats become subject, but also a crucial theme in Banksy’s serigraphs, because of their strong impact on population.
