Before Banksy there was Blek Le Rat
I am Blek le Rat. I am a French graffiti artist. I was one of the first artists to use stencils for an artistic purpose in Paris in the beginning of the 1980s—in ‘81 exactly. At first, I put rats and I made them run along the wall. I wanted to do a rat invasion. I put thousands all over Paris.
Between me and my heart there is nobody – Blek Le Rat on youtube
It is worth noting that the Rat Brigade did not discriminate on the basis of species.
