“If you don't risk anything, you risk everything” Author of the global bestseller “Life Leverage” Host of UK’s No.1 business podcast “The Disruptive Entrepreneur” Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator. “I’m the result of what I have seen before” “London is a very important place for artists to be recognised and to be known” “When you play around with the word rat, what does it spell, art”
Why pure creation doesn’t exist and no art is purely original.
Why it took so long for his art to be recognised and accepted.In this episode, Rob speaks to Blek himself as well as gallery owner Steven Sulley to discuss Bleks work, street art as a movement and the value of art to society. In many ways, Banksy also uses the symbol of the rat as a way of aligning himself with the wretched and the underdogs whom he often speaks about or on behalf of in his works.Blek Le Rat is dubbed the godfather of stencil graffiti, said to inspire the likes of Banksy and many other street artists. “If you are dirty, insignificant, and unloved, then rats are the ultimate role model.” Instead, it seems he prefers monkeys for his original and editioned canvases. Given the relative importance of rats in the artist’s iconography and symbolism, Banksy has done a surprisingly few number of originals with them as the main protagonists. Banksy also realized numerous prints on paper in 2004, featuring various of his iconic rat characters. In terms of artistic output, Banksy has realized many murals featuring rats – mostly in England, and they tend to be smaller pieces.
