Lighted Rat is a limited edition print of 300 copies, signed by Bordalo II, reproducing his original sculpture of the same name. This sculpture, belonging to the Lighted series, is an assembly of plastic waste and LED lamps on a wooden structure, measuring 109 × 119 × 21 cm. The work depicts a rat — an emblematic animal of the artist's urban universe — built from the cast-offs of our consumer society. Incorporating LED lights, the sculpture has a striking electric presence. The print, in the 29 × 41 cm format, was released in Paris and sold out on the day of the opening.

Original photos of the work for sale. Work stored flat under a plastic sleeve in a professional binder and non-smoking space.

Carefully packaged in a sturdy tube and shipped with tracking number.

Bordalo II today stands as one of the most promising rising stars of global street art. Where guiding figures like Banksy, Blek le Rat or Shepard Fairey have redefined the relationship between art and public space, Bordalo II adds a radical ecological dimension. His giant animal sculptures, assembled from plastic waste, distinguish him from his peers — Invader, C215, Vhils or PichiAvo — with a unique three-dimensional and militant approach. Recognized on all continents, collected and exhibited in galleries, he embodies a new generation of artivists who turn refuse into a universal manifesto.
