This is a street artist I have only just discovered. Blek le Rat has been stencilling, pasting and daubing his way around the world for nearly 30 years. But the perception of Banksy as the pioneer of street art is certainly the one favoured by the media and art world. As a result, Banksy’s artistic reputation has been helped by is anonymity. Blek has been working on ironic self-portraits, stencilled socio-political commentary and, interestingly rats since 1981.
