“Blek,” born as Xavier Prou, pioneered the use of layered stencil spray-paint techniques to achieve speed, stealth, and artistic vibrancy. We’d like to take a moment to appreciate just what it took to get to this point. This was a wonderful, culturally defining moment for our city, no matter how you look at it but this particular project is testament to the vision and “leap of yes” of so many people. Last week, “ Blek le Rat,” world-famous Parisian street artist left his mark on Waco by painting six walls in the downtown Cultural District. This year, for Creative Waco and our partners, it comes in a can (several, actually) of spraypaint.
