Blek le Rat

Blek le Rat (real name is Xavier Prou) is the Godfather of Stencil Graffiti from France.  He came to Cleveland in 2022 for the first time and installed 4 public pieces - Juggler, Man Who Walks Through Walls, Ballerina, and Tug of War, as well as a priceless one of a kind collaborative piece with TAKI 183. Interestingly, while Blek and Taki have known each other for over 50 years, they had actually never met in person! The piece they created together is called ‘Napolean’.

This mural can be found at - 2098 W. 25th Street, Cleveland, OH
