Creating A Scene - with Blek Le Rat

This week, Steven talks to Blek Le Rat, one of the first graffiti artists in Paris, and a man who has been described as the "Father of stencil graffiti", and with a career spanning back from the beginning of the 1980's that has attracted the attention of not just the authorities, but the likes of Banksy. KEY TAKEAWAYS Visionaries influence emerging talents. Sometimes all it takes is a spark of genius at the right time, to set us off on our own creative journeys. Blek Le Rat took the creative jumpstart in New York and across Europe, and began the graffiti art scene in Paris, pioneering the art form and bringing it to one of the most culturally enlightened cities in the world. When we translate an art form, it's important that we put our own mark on things. Street art in different cities needs to reflect that particular city itself. Art is seen as a safe haven for investors, where money is not just be stored, but thrives and grows. Art has, and always will be, one of the most valuable commodities for investors. BEST MOMENTS 'It was something so strong in the street' 'The only contemporary artist I bought was Richard Hambleton' 'I didn't want to imitate American graffiti, because Paris is a different city' 'There's so much buzz about the street art sector' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study      Blek Le Rat - https://blekleratoriginal.com/en/ ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships. As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life. My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
