Artist: Banksy (British, b. 1974)
Medium: Silkscreen in colors on fibrous album sleeve with additional printing on album label.
Description: Beautifully framed and presented. Album and cover with artwork by Banksy (2008). Extremely rare.
Radar Rat is one of Banksy’s most iconic and enduring motifs — a symbol of vigilance, resistance, and the underground culture that shaped his early career. In this 2008 collaboration with Dirty Funker, Banksy reimagines the rat as a covert listener, headphones on and tape recorder in hand, scanning the airwaves for signals of authority. The image blends humor with subversion, turning a simple creature into a metaphor for surveillance, rebellion, and the quiet persistence of those who operate outside the mainstream.
This original silkscreen on a fibrous record sleeve captures Banksy at a pivotal moment, bridging his street‑level anonymity with his rising global influence. The tactile surface, bold black‑and‑red palette, and additional printing on the record label give the piece a raw authenticity that echoes the DIY ethos of early 2000s music culture. As a rare variant of a top‑tier Banksy motif, Radar Rat stands as a significant work within the artist’s broader narrative — a fusion of street art, music history, and cultural commentary that remains as relevant today as when it first appeared.
