Meaning & Analysis
Banksy's 2004 screen print, Get Out While You Can (pink), from his Placard Rat series, was released in a signed edition of 75. Banksy’s rat holds a placard that quotes from a book by George Marshall, which centres on encouraging people to seek alternatives to wage slavery and consumerism.
Get Out While You Can is an original, limited edition screen print by Banksy. The print features a monochromatic stencil rendering of a rat, which is one of Banksy’s most famous motifs, completed with a Peace symbol on a chain and a placard that has been sprayed with pink reading ‘Get Out While You Can’. Placard Rat first appeared on Chiswell Street, London, and featured the words ‘London Doesn’t Work’.
There can be many possible contextual interpretations for this print, such as a general anti-violence statement that is in line with Banksy’s adamant rhetoric, or a commentary on urban gang culture and thus a call for peace. The peace symbol appears across the artist’s oeuvre, including in the artwork CND Soldiers, depicting a couple of soldiers in full gear painting the striking sign onto the backdrop behind them. Banksy often creates monochrome prints with only a splash of colour in order to highlight the central element or message of the piece.
The Banksy artwork Get Out While You Can was released alongside Because I’m Worthless and Welcome To Hell. The print came out in 2004, and there were 175 unsigned prints (with a mixture of pink and red lettering). Other famous Rat prints by Banksy include Love Rat, Radar Rat and Gangsta Rat.
