Shock And Awe

Blek le Rat was one of the very first graffiti artists in Paris, and is considered the originator of stencil movement.

He discovered the first graffiti in NYC and his first stencils were small black rats that he made run along the walls of Paris.  In 1983, Blek began painting human-sized stencils. He is credited with being the inventor of the life-sized stencil, as well as the first to transform stencil from basic lettering into pictoral art.

He has influenced generations of urban artists around the world, especially Banksy and his works often represent solitary individuals that can be encountered in the urban space.

He says, “images have more impact than reality".
