Inspired by Banksy and celebrating The Year of the Rat 2020, 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960, 1948...
Rats are considered clever, quick thinkers; successful, but content with living a quiet and peaceful life. The Rat is the first of all zodiac animals; it is yang and represents the beginning of a new day.
This is a continuation of the "Lucky Animals" series. I am intrigued to explore the symbolism of different animals and the possibilities of the different directions this is taking me artistically. This piece is a collage and mixed media painting finished with resin for a high gloss look. Canvas sides are completely painted for a finished look. Ready to hang on stretched canvas. Frame available upon request. Signed and dated on recto. Comes with Certificate of Authenticity.
