Blek le Rat ‘Getting Through The Walls’
Considered to be the father of stencil street art, Blek Le Rat (aka Xavier Prou) has had a profound influence on today’s current crop of street artists. Almost all of whom arrived a whole generation after Blek started hitting the streets of Paris back in the early eighties. Banksy is on record as saying that, “Every time I think I’ve painted something slightly original, I find out that Blek LeRat has done it as well. Only twenty years earlier…”
Indeed, it was Blek’s silhouette stencil of a rat (an image Banksy was later to adopt for Bristol and London) as early as 1981 that broke away from the graffiti political slogans and injected it with a fresh new language of political art. Blek has always used his art as both a democratic means of bringing the gallery walls to the people and to change the way we interact with the urban spaces around us. This is essentially the blueprint street artists the world over are still reading from today.
In recognition of this Thames & Hudson have published a beautifully produced retrospective book entitled, Blek Le Rat: Getting Through the Walls. To celebrate the book launch the Black Rat gallery is staging the largest Blek exhibition to date.
The show will feature many new works as well as iconic images tracing the history of Blek’s career, along with a number of prints – available from the gallery on the night. And to whet your appeitite you can pre-order a copy of Getting Through the Walls here: www.thamesandhudson.com/en/1/9780500287354.mxs
There will be a limited number of special editions of the book available on the opening night and Blek will be signing copies.
Doors open 6pm, Thursday, May 8th.
See you there,
BRP

The book is also currently available at 'Forbidden Planet' round at the back of Covent Garden.

I'm really looking forward to the show; and reading the book. Chatted to Blek for a while at Cans and he's a lovely guy too.

Wish I could be there. Seems like it's going to be a cracker. Please take some pics.

I always thought Banksy and Blek kinda hated on each other. Seems quite the opposite recently with the invite to the Can's fest and all.

I know Blek is considered the godfather of this scene but Banksy's endorsement should really help him as well, don't you think?

hope everyone takes alot of pictures! gutted cant make it but sure will be amazing show and the main man is there himself cant really get better than that...! cant wait to hear from people about the show and how great the art works on show are!...s

Met Blek over the weekend. A truly Nice guy and so humble. Asked him to draw something for my daughter and he obliged with this
