WHY AN ARTS EDITION
An M Arts edition is not simply a printed work: each sheet is hand-finished after printing. The frame fold can be felt, the dry stamp is only visible in raking light, and the numbering is done in pencil. These are the marks that auctioneers describe in their catalogs, and it is for these marks that these editions are sought after at auction.

THE WORK
The rat, often used by the artist as a symbol of resistance, survival, and marginalization, is here transformed into a rebellious artist, playing on the tension between destruction and creation. The red circle painted by the rat is interpreted by some as a reference to the authorities' marking system for buildings slated for demolition, while others see it as a metaphor for street art itself, often ephemeral and threatened by institutional powers.

The Dismaland Rat perfectly illustrates Banksy's ability to transform a simple animal into an icon of rebellion and social commentary. The interaction between the rat and its environment symbolizes the ongoing struggle between artistic creation and oppression, while also highlighting the fragility and resilience of street art. This piece has become one of the defining elements of Dismaland, reaffirming the relevance of Banksy's messages in a global context.

Banksy is a street artist who works under a pseudonym. His real name and exact identity are unknown and remain a subject of speculation. Apparently British and active since the 1990s, he uses stencil painting to convey his messages, which often blend politics, humor, and poetry. His works are humorous images, sometimes combined with slogans. The message is generally anarchist, anti-militarist, anti-capitalist, or anti-establishment, and his characters are often rats, monkeys, police officers, soldiers, children, celebrities, or elderly people.
