One of the many rats of Banksy. An anagram of “ART,” the rat is an allegorical tool used by Banksy to reveal the vices and flaws of the human race.

Why does Banksy always paint rats? The rat is ubiquitous in urban environments, and his use of it highlights the decay and grittiness of urban life. By using the rat, Banksy also makes a statement about the nature of art itself. Like the rat, his art can be found in unexpected places and thrive even in the most unlikely environments.
