Banksy in his unofficial biography famously said of Blek le Rat, Every time I think I’ve painted something original I find out that Blek le Rat has done it as well, only 20 years earlier.
Blek le Rat (Xavier Prou), born in Paris 56 years ago, studied painting and architecture and was the first street artist to use the life-sized stencil. His main motivations are political and social consciousness and the desire to bring art to the people. His art, like Banksy's, is playful, political and often provocative. In fact, Blek le Rat is the archetypal enfant terrible, undermining the establishment with his risqué imagery. This year he has had shows in London and New York and a major monograph Blek le Rat—Getting Through the Walls, published by Thames and Hudson, documenting his artistic career over the past twenty-five years. |
