ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This piece is part of an exhibition, Getting Under the Skin, currently showing at the Westminster Arts Reference Library situated in London’s West End just behind the National Gallery. The show features 10 famous works of art reimagined by Field and Young as taxidermy tableaux to reflect the Library’s vast art and design collection. This nameless image by street artist Banksy depicting backpack-wearing rats scaling an anti-climb paint sign first appeared on the streets of London at some time in the early 2000s. In Field & Young’s three-dimensional recreation the rats are pest control from Eliot Young’s own kitchen in Spitalfields, East London. Ironically Banksy’s agency is named Pest Control. The rodents’ backpacks are handmade. The sign is enamel.

Suzette Field (born 1978) and Eliot Young (born 1963) are British taxidermy artists who work as the collaborative duo, Field and Young. Their distinctive portfolio plays homage to the most skilled artist of all time, Mother Nature. Taxidermy and the beauty of preservation against decay is a central facet of all their work. As ardent vegetarians, Field and Young ensure that all animals featuring in their art have come from ethical sources and nothing has been killed for the purpose of taxidermy. Degas’s ballerina squirrels, for example, were roadkill collected from the A13 and Magritte’s fox was found at the side of Clapham Common one wintry night in December.
