Selfie Rat'
- Artist
- Blek Le Rat
- 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). The trademark rat character (which Banksy uses, too) is an anagram of "art". Sometimes rats are more numerous than the people in a city, but they hide where they are hard to detect and come out in secret - just like street artists. This little mural requires you to go deeper into the artworld of Waco to find it. You'll need to ask at the front desk of Cultivate 7twelve gallery, 712 Austin Avenue.
