Blek le Rat is a French artist who has been active in street art since the 1980s. He is considered one of the pioneers of stencil art, earning him the nickname “The Godfather of Stencil Art.”
One of Blek le Rat’s most iconic images is “The Man Who Walks through the Walls”. This image is a self-portrait of the artist on the body of Buster Keaton, a famous actor from the silent film era.

The character of “The Man Who Walks through the Walls” is significant because it reflects Blek le Rat’s life and philosophy. The artist has always been a traveller, and he sees himself as a cosmopolitan migrant who is able to “walk” through the walls of different cities and cultures. The image of the man who walks through walls is a powerful symbol of this migrant lifestyle, and it represents Blek le Rat’s mission to spread his art far and wide.
