- Description
- Parisian artist “Blek-le-Rat", born as Xavier Prou, pioneered the use of layered stencil spray-paint techniques to achieve speed, stealth, and artistic vibrancy. His technique became the “go to” method for a generation of iconic street artists, including the infamous (and still technically anonymous) British artist, “Banksy” (of auction-shredding renown). When Prou visited Waco to paint this series of six murals in November 2018, he arrived the day that beloved Waco-based musician and composer Kurt Kaiser passed away. Learning of Kurt's role in inspiring a generation of musicians, he wanted this piece to honor Kurt, whom he never met, but felt a creative kinship with.
