Blek Le Rat
Monday 26 June 2006

“Every time I think I’ve painted something slightly original, I find out that Blek Le Rat has done it as well. Only twenty years earlier ….”
- Banksy

landingbleriot.jpg‘Original stencil pioneer’ Blek Le Rat has come to collect his dues. A documentary about the French street artist and his work is currently touring and includes a slide show of his work from 1981 to 2005. It would seem that Banksy’s a mere toddler compared to this street art veteran — hence his quote on the front of the DVD.

The DVD is available to buy on 100 Proof’s site and snippets of the footage are, of course, on YouTube. Any requests for interviews/usage should be directed at the director, Kingadz@gmail.com.
