Black and white stenciled character against a background filled with colorful spots and a segment of brick wall. Perhaps another lucky coincidence, but if we compare the Banksy’s piece Keep it Spotless with le Rat’s Paint Ball Game it just looks wonderfully interesting how similar they are. Any guesses? The first thing that came to my mind while writing this article is to check Banksy’s most expensive pieces, as there is certainly a line of similarities between the two artists. It is truly an amazing one and it does look somewhat similar to another most expensive artwork by another famous stencil artist. Take a look at the history of Blek le Rat’s artworks at auctions here, and scroll down to see which are the most expensive ones!Īnd we’ve finally reached that last artwork on our list. Today we are presenting ten of his most expensive artworks, but you can certainly check the performance of his other pieces at auctions as well. And while we are discussing the art market I guess you are interested in finding out how expensive Blek le Rat pieces are. Is it a coincidence or not? It is definitely an interesting theme to ponder on. On the other hand, it is an interesting thing to note that Blek le Rat had his first exhibition in 2008 at the exact same time when there was a craze over Banksy’s pieces at the art market. One of my favorite literary scholars Harold Bloom described this situation as "the anxiety of influence", where a young artist is horrified by his precursors, fearing that he will never be able to create something truly original. On various occasions, Banksy stated that every time he thought he painted something slightly original he found out that Blek le Rat has done it as well, only twenty years earlier. Most importantly, he made a great influence on Banksy himself, one of the most popular stencil artists ever. After all, he is the Father of Stencil Graffiti, the man who inspired a generation of young artists all over the globe. Xavier Prou, the man whom you all know well by his moniker Blek le Rat, is certainly a legend in the world of street art.
