Description

The King of Rats is none other than Blek le Rat, a highly respected figure in the world of street art. Since 1981, his iconic stencilled rats have adorned the streets of Paris, becoming a hallmark of his creative expression.

Blek le Rat’s influence is so profound that even the elusive Banksy has acknowledged his impact. In Banksy’s own words:

“Every time I think I’ve painted something slightly original, I find out that Blek le Rat has done it as well, only 20 years earlier.”

This candid admission speaks volumes about the pioneering power of Blek le Rat’s art and his lasting legacy in the street art movement.
