Mortar Rat – Banksy.

Darbyshire were recently commissioned to create a display unit with protective glass front for this original artwork by world renowned street artist and Dismaland creator Banksy.

The artwork, which was created on an original piece of deteriorated street furniture, and now owned by a private collector was carefully mounted onto the base unit, which features a chemically corroded finish.  A sheet of Anti-Reflective glass protrudes upwards from a channel in the unit to protect the front of the piece.  We worked with the client to create a display solution which is sympathetic to the feel of the artwork, and sympathetic to the original context in which it was made.
