Inside Banksy's Rat-Infested Bathroom

by Christie Grimm · April 16, 2020

    You know what they say about idle hands!

    It seems that everyone's favorite cheeky street artist has found himself desperate for an outlet during these indoor times. 

    In an Instagram post yesterday, Banksy revealed, "My wife hates it when I work from home." Accompanying the caption is a gross meets whimsical display of mischievous rats running amuck in the artist's bathroom.

    Swinging from towel holders, breaking the mirror, pissing all over the toilet, squirting toilet paste on the walls.

    It's been quite a bit since I was sitting in an Art History lecture, but I look and this and think, I get it. 

    At once, we have all unsuspectingly found ourselves in a world where rogue rodents are shitting on everything, and yet we too would also like to fuck shit up right about now as well.

    Ah, metaphors! Symbolism! Rat piss!
