About the Artists
1952 , France
Blek le Rat; born Xavier Prou,(1952) is a French graffiti artist.
He was one of the first graffiti artists in Paris, and has been described as the "Father of stencil graffiti".
Blek’s first stencils were black rats, seen to be running along the walls throughout the centre of Paris. The rat, also an anagram for ‘art’, is in Blek’s mind “the only animal to survive the apocalypse“. In 1983 Blek began to paint life-size stencils, which alongside his rats, have become his trademark and have influenced generations of street artists around the world.
