Padlock Rat Brexit Artwork, Heathrow 2019 by Banksy's Graffiti
Banksy's Graffiti – "Padlock Rat"
Limited Edition Lithographic Print | Heathrow Airport, London | Certificate of Authenticity Included
Created in the politically charged atmosphere of 2019, "Padlock Rat" is one of Banksy’s sharpest commentaries on Brexit and the erosion of freedom of movement. This mischievous rat—the artist’s recurring symbol of rebellion—is seen repurposing the letter "T" from a "Keep Out" sign to smash a padlock on a European customs gate.
Stenciled onto a gate at Heathrow Airport, the rat becomes a symbol of disruption, resistance, and ingenuity—qualities deeply tied to Banksy's worldview. This image, captured before the original was removed, lives on through this limited edition, museum-grade lithograph.
