So what you’re saying that if it wasn’t for the work of another that Banksy copied, then Banksy wouldn’t be as famous and “influential” as he is today? It’s ok to copy the work off of another and reap all the recognition and money while that other person is either forgotten or left obscure? Hmmmm
I am the same era, I did grafx while in Paris in the 70’s while in art school, I didn’t do stencils but was painting super fast paintings themes of art museums on walls but took it to the stage as art performance all the way to Las Vegas and around the world. People do stencils because they aren’t good free hand artist and it’s easier to leave a print on a wall in a fast matter
It's funny because Banksy came to nottingham and I stood and Watch him spray his art on the wall.. he literally thought no one was around him or near him lucky for me I was across the road and it was very strange because I didn't click on until he left then I went over and thought Jesus christ
Banksy is just not a good artist. He destroys other artists work, even if they had been up for decades and become historic pieces within the community. Such as what he did to Robbo's street art, just to "make a statement". Look up his art gallery show, the guy even rented an elephant so that he could paint it entirely to look like generic floral wall paper. He's a want to be excentric when the reality is he makes cheap stencils. While other artists are imprisoned for their street art, his are protected by police officers and guards. Don't get me wrong, the imagery is great but I don't respect killers and want to be crooks trying to be hip. Banksy is the drama class geek of graffiti.
Je comprends que Blek cherche une reconnaissance plus large et à vendre plus de tableaux à des prix plus élevés. Cela doit être insupportable de se sentir sous coté de son vivant quand on a du talent. Plus et mieux vendre dans son cas serait mérité car il a un talent fou et est visionnaire. Mais en s’y prenant comme ça, les vrais amateurs du street art et de Blek vont fuir. Cela va se réduire à des incultes branchés qui veulent faire un investissement lucratif pour l’avenir sans avoir aucune connaissance de l’histoire de l’art, ni une vraie appréciation du formidable travail de Blek. La communication pour promouvoir l’oeuvre de Blek est désolante mais il s’y prête. Alors oui, il va sans doute vendre plus et mieux mais il risque de perdre une forme de crédibilité durement acquise. Qu’il est loin des entretiens passionnants de Blek avec l’équipe du Louvre…😢
The originator! I wonder if Banksy would be a household name if Blek did not exist.

Hmmmm
Never stop sharing, I'll always be watching!
No Banksy without Blek!
most definitely !
Great interview! A true pioneer of the stencil graffiti movement who has inspired so many.
I love the variation in your videos! Never gets boring on your channel! :D
Blek is amazing he created art to show others what is happening in our society....he is the king of stencils....merci brother 😇
Great episode with the “Father of Stencil Graffiti” ! Glad we got it done 🏠🎨🐀🎙

Amazing interview, what a legend Blek le Rat is!

You're the best Thank you so much for sharing this with me
Nice, useful and easy to understand.
The original! He was Banksy before Banksy
You have a amazing personality!
i wish i could give u more than 1 like! good job!
I like this French man, money and art are connected always, I love art with emotion and politics be pathetic
I can’t for the life of me, understand why Blek thinks Bansky’s a great artist, yet doubts Picasso’s originality!🤔
It looks amazing!
Kaikei and Unkei were very happy and they created supreme masterpieces.
The real guy
CHEERS!!✨
It"s more about the message than the money, humans need to stop to subscribe to greed, I love freedom more than anything, love is all
That jacket is straight disrespectful but is probably also farleft.
Like a straightjacket that took a left turn?
Banksy is a knock off
Legend!
Intent is everything, be correct lol, I come from Africa but I am ready to go back to the barter system
They make life difficult in all countries, it be difficult in all lands, I grew up in Africa, a third world country
wow infromative

Del Naja(3D) apparently is Banksy
He’s not, 100%
It is Goldie accidentally dropped his name on a radio interview, it’s funny cos Goldie just talks for days. It had to be him that slipped up.
@@corneliousism another top candidate for Bansky is Robin Gunningham, also from Bristol, could Goldie have been referring to that “Rob”?
Top job!👍
