Published in 2004 by Pictures on Walls, Get Out While You Can is a screen print by Banksy, part of the Placard Rat series that includes ‘Because I’m Worthless’ and ‘Welcome to Hell’.
The Placard Rats series features defiant rats holding protest signs, with this particular version displaying the message “Get Out While You Can”. Other signs in the series include “Welcome to Hell” and ‘Because I’m Worthless’. The rat in the artwork wears a necklace adorned with a peace sign, actively engaging in protest. The underlying target of this protest remains ambiguous—is it aimed at the ruling classes? Is the rat's plea a commentary on escaping the rat race and breaking free from being a wage slave?
On initial viewing, the imagery appears straightforward, yet Banksy's characteristic wit and penchant for social commentary shine through, prompting viewers to contemplate what exactly they should be fleeing from in their own lives.
